SSL - What should I do for it?

I need to enable SSL on my website.

Q1> What should I do to enable this service?

Q2> Should I change my code (i.e. PHP开发者_StackOverflow中文版+JavaScript+MySQL )?

Thank you

Q1> you need to generate a certificate signing request and send it to a trusted certificate authority to be signed, usually for a fee. I use SSL.com regularly because they give me responsive customer support. After they sign the certificate, they will it send back to you or you can download it. Then you install the signed certificate on your server.

If you are running Windows, try http://www.ssltools.com/manager for a tool that generates the csr.

Q2> you can configure it in the server settings, but you can also programmatically implement it in your code. For instance, if you want to open sockets in your code, or if you want SSL on certain pages (although modern servers allow selective SSL implementation in the settings).
