Adding SSL to your website

Metro Publisher now includes an easy way to encrypt your site (SSL).

1. To turn SSL on for your Metro Publisher site, the account owner should go to:

• go.metropublisher.com
  
  
• There will be a list of the websites accessible to that user:

• Click "More"
• Then, click "Site Settings"

2. On the Site Settings page is listed the various options for HTTPS:

HTTPS Only – This is the optimal setting and on by default for all new clients.

• NOTE: Once an SSL certificate is issued (most of the time within a day) users are redirected from HTTP to HTTPS.

HTTP and HTTPS – Users are not redirected at all.

• NOTE: This is only useful as an intermediate step towards HTTPS so clients can test HTTPS without having the real users see much breakage.
  
  

HTTP Only – Your website will redirect users from HTTPS to HTTP.

• NOTE: This option is really ONLY for clients whose websites don't work properly under HTTPS, the most common cause of this is if they have external resources (e.g. javascript) referenced via HTTP urls. All old clients have this automatically to prevent breakage.
