Hi All,

I'm new to SSL and security, and was wondering... can you just install a DNN instance in the https:// folder of a domain and have the site be SSL?

Can the whole DNN site be SSL encrypted?   Is there any benefit to doing this?  Any disadvantage?

the transport level (HTTP/HTTPS) does not matter to DotNetNuke - you can run an entire site under HTTPS (SSL) fine (in fact in IIS you can remove the HTTP binding and force the site to run under HTTPS only). SSL is more secure (e.g. man in the middle attacks cannot intercept data/cookies) but does have more overhead so sites often only run key pages such as login under SSL - DotNetNuke supports this as all pages can be set to be secure under page settings - and in the admin settings you can enable SSL and enforce it i.e. if a page is secure it can only load via https and not http.
