I am using the SSL login with XOOPS and have a question. When the secure login windows pops up, everything seems to be okay, but when logging in the browser always complains with this pop up box:

Resized Image

And that is annoying because it makes our clients wonder whether it is really secure. I guess my question is - Is it really securing the login and how do I keep this pop-up window from appearing?

Here is the solution ...

if ( !$_SERVER["HTTPS"] ){
define('XOOPS_HTTP_METHOD', 'http');
}else{
define('XOOPS_HTTP_METHOD', 'https');
}

and ...

define('XOOPS_URL', XOOPS_HTTP_METHOD.'://your.site');

The problem was that XOOPS defines:

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://your.site');

so all the actions of the forms will have http instead https, that hack will fix that problem.

Now if you ask for https://your.xoops.site you will be allways in https mode.

Thanks! This sounds promising! But what file do we add that code to?

Edit:
Okay, I answered by own question. You must mean mainfile.php. Sorry for not being terribly savvy

That seems to work nicely.

I have found a problem though. If someone visits the sitename.com rather than http://www.sitename.com and tries to use the SSL login, it looks like it doesn't log them in, unless they manually change the URL to http://www.sitename.com. Is there any way to automatically change any request for sitename.com to http://www.sitename.com? I suppose this can be done with mod_rewrite.

Well,

This seems to do the trick in .htaccess:

 RewriteEngine on 
  
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.net/$ [NC] 
  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ domain.net$1 [R=301,L]

That will make sure that anyone typing in domain.net will get http://www.domain.net, which is important because SSL is specific to one or the other.

The one thing this DOESN'T do is change:

domain.net/modules/news to http://www.domain.net/modules/news

So if someone has the non-www page bookmarked, this won't work. Any mod rewrite experts out there now how to through in a wildcard?

I thought this might do it:

 RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^www.{REQUEST_URI}/$ {REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]

But no luck as for the longer URLs.

let me now if i undestand your last problem...

you want your site in HTTPS mode and non in HTTP... you dont care what the user types in the browser... http://yoursite.com or https://yoursite.com allways in HTTPS.

try to put this lines in the mainfile.php

if( !$_SERVER["HTTPS"] ){
header("Location: https://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
}

luck!

Thanks again.

I don't think this is what I'm going for. That changes http to https all the time.

I am saying this:

If SSL login is enabled in XOOPS and a user types in yoursite.com, but your SSL requires http://www.yoursite.com, the XOOPS SSL login won't work, unless the user manually visits http://www.yoursite.com (which is where they are authenticated to).

So I used mod rewrite to make any requests to yoursite.com go to http://www.yoursite.com, which is great, BUT if a user goes directly to yoursite.com/modules/news, my trick won't automatically change the URL to http://www.yoursite.com/modules/news

Does that make sense?
