SSL Behavior

I have set up the SSL on the servers. I can enable the SSL for the database and every links on the database will automatically use “https” protocol.

However I prefer just secure couple links instead of the whole site. So I disable the SSL for the database, and selectively use https protocol for some links. It did not complain. I however can also remove the “s” and make it nonsecure again. Isn’t that odd? Or is it normal? User can modify the link and make it nonsecure transaction even the developer intends to make that a secured link?

That is normal. If you want security, you need to force SSL. Relying on the ‘s’ in the link is not sufficient. You should enable SSL for the database. If you only want a few pages secured, put the secure pages/forms/etc. in one database, and the non-secure pages/forms/etc. in another.

Vikalp,

There is a template csrv50.ntf you can use to create the “server certificate admin” database. Follow the steps from 1 to 4. Originally there are two files “.kyr” and “.sth” are generated and they cann be in your local machine. Once you finish 4 steps, move these two files to server domino data directory, modify the server document ports~internet ports and recycle the server.
