Could someone point  me to a resource that will explain what I need to do to secure my log on and cart page. I am working on a 2008 rc server and have full access, I can create certificates etc but I just can't seem to get the whole process figured out. should i buy a certificate, should I make one, I can point it to the site but i don't really know how to configure the site properly to use it. I have looked over the documentation but it leaves me with too many questions to start the process.  I think its a simple thing but I just do not get it.

thanks

Thanks!!!

Here is what I do. I create a Page (Secure Sign-up), that is has permissions for all users to view, but the page is hidden from menu navigation. Remember to check 'Secured" in the Advanced Setting' area.

• On that page add a Users And Roles. This will add a few modules to the page. Simply delete all but the Sign-Up form (Add New User).
• Go to your Admin>Site Settings page, under Advanced Settings>Page Management, change the User Registration page to the one you newly created.
• Log out and give it a try...

PS: the same can be done for the Login page too, but I'll assume the stock method is working for you.
