U-NET's secure servers work by encrypting all communications between the users browser and our server.

The server simply browses your existing web space on U-NET in secure mode - so if you have a form for orders etc already written it can just be viewed in secure mode, although you will have to change the url that refers to that page.

The secure server is fairly simple to use - but there are a few rules to remember.

1) Only browse the part of your site that needs to be secure in secure mode. If you do not it will slow down your page access speed and other peoples.

2) Scripts that you are using that have the .pl extension should have a .cgi extension. If you have a perl script that you need renaming to .cgi you will have to mail E2help to have it made executable. Don't forget to include your domain name in the email.

SECURE URLS

To link to a secure mode you will have change the url of the page or script that you wish to link to.

change from

http://www.{your domain}/{yourfile} - to - https://secure.wsa.u-net.com/www.{your domain}/{your file}

Examples

so an html page called order.html in the domain www.example.com would change urls from

http://www.example.com/order.html - to - https://secure.wsa.u-net.com/www.example.com/order.html

and if I call a script order.cgi from order.html I would change the url from

http://www.example.com/scripts/order.cgi - to - https://secure.wsa.u-net.com/www.example.com/scripts/order.cgi

Simply change the urls for the pages that are going to be secure to the above urls when creating links.
