    <p>Is there anything wrong with configuring a webserver to map SSL traffic (<em>port 443</em>) to the same document root as normal traffic (<em>port 80</em>)?</p> <p>Using the same document root for both http and https means you need to implement the following:</p> <ol> <li>On each page that needs to be secure, there needs to be some application code that redirects the user to the https version if they somehow got to the http version (or to rediect the user to the login page if they have no session).</li> <li>The login page always needs to redirect to the https version.</li> <li>For pages that are accessible via both http and https, you need to set a canonical URL to ensure it doesn't appear like you have duplicate content.</li> </ol> <p>Is there a better way to configure encryption of user account pages? Is there a best practice to separate website into HTTP and HTTPS sections?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
