By default the demo is set up to not use SSL, since you may not have an SSL certificate installed. In order to use the site securely with SSL encryption you have to register and install a secure certificate. The process involves applying for a certificate from a certificate authority such as Verisign or Thawte. The process is outlined in your Web server's documentation - search for Ceritificate.

To enable secure operation of the checkout order pages you should change the following key in the application's INI file (WebStore.ini in our examples thus far):

Switch the following key to:

Secureorderpage=On

in the [wwstore] section of the ini file. Stop and restart the VFP server.

This flag is accessible in the wwStore class as Config.lSecureOrderPage which conatins a logical value. Flipping this value allows you to quickly switch between secure and non-secure modes for testing purposes.
