Anyone give me the run down of how SSL and DNN works? I have a few different sites which need a SSL certificate, do I just need to provide the base domain? IE

www.DNNDomainName.com or will I need to provide the url to the pages that need secured? Any length documentation around this is welcomed to be linked.

Thanks for the help.

I'm working on installing one now.  You have to get on your hosting and get a CSR request, then when you purchase a SSL cert (godaddyssl.com, verisign.com, thawte.com) you will have to enter the CSR request numbers and you'll get some more numbers that you'll have to enter in your hosting control panel....heres is a link that has some instructions...

Are your different sites all part of the same domain (ie are they like xxx.domainname.com, yyyy.domainname.com). If yes, then you can purchase a wildcard SSL certificate and apply it to your website... If they are unique domains, you'd have to purchase SSL certs for the domain in question (this might be different for shared hosting, I'm familiar only with hosting sites on my own boxes)....

With regards to how DNN handles it, once you've turned on SSL (via Host Page), you can set a specific page to be SSL enabled or not. So you do have control at the page level. However note that you better setup the cert correctly in IIS first as if you click the enable SSL and your server is not setup with it, you'll get a page not found error....
