    <blockquote> <p>What should I do to prepare my website for https. (Do I need to alter the code / Config)</p> </blockquote> <p>You should keep best practices for secure coding in mind (here is a good intro: <a href="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Secure_Coding_Principles" rel="noreferrer">http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Secure_Coding_Principles</a> ), otherwise all you need is a correctly set up SSL certificate.</p> <blockquote> <p>Is SSL and https one and the same..</p> </blockquote> <p>Pretty much, yes.</p> <blockquote> <p>Do I need to apply with someone to get some license or something.</p> </blockquote> <p>You can buy an SSL certificate from a certificate authority or use a self-signed certificate. The ones you can purchase vary wildly in price - from $10 to hundreds of dollars a year. You would need one of those if you set up an online shop, for example. Self-signed certificates are a viable option for an internal application. You can also use one of those for development. Here's a good tutorial on how to set up a self-signed certificate for IIS: <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/04/06/tip-trick-enabling-ssl-on-iis7-using-self-signed-certificates.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Enabling SSL on IIS 7.0 Using Self-Signed Certificates</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Do I need to make all my pages secured or only the login page..</p> </blockquote> <p>Use HTTPS for everything, not just the initial user login. It's not going to be too much of an overhead and it will mean the data that the users send/receive from your remotely hosted application cannot be read by outside parties if it is intercepted. Even Gmail now turns on HTTPS by default.</p>
