SSL (HTTPS) support

Kentico CMS allows you to specify which pages of the website can be displayed only over the secured SSL (HTTPS) protocol. When a user tries to open such a page with standard HTTP protocol, they are redirected to the secured (HTTPS) URL of the same page.

 

Please note: Kentico CMS doesn't configure your website for SSL/HTTPS, you need to do this manually using standard IIS settings as described in IIS documentation or in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/cs-cz/magazine/cc301946(en-us).aspx

 

In order to specify which pages should be available only through the SSL protocol, you need to go to CMS Desk -> Content and select the document in the content tree. Then you can choose one of the following option in Properties -> Security -> Requires SSL:

 

Yes - users trying to access the page will be redirected to the HTTPS URL of the page
No - users trying to access the page will access the page via the protocol from that they are comming (i.e. they will not be explicitly redirected to the secured URL, but if they are coming from a secured URL, they will access the page via secured URL)
Inherits - settings of the parent page will be used
Never - users trying to access the page will be explicitly redirected to the non-secured version of the page
