in the catelog.cfg came with foundation, there are following lines:
#==========================================================================#
# The URLs which are written to refer back to our catalog.
ParseVariables Yes
VendURL http://__SERVER_NAME____CGI_URL__
SecureURL __SECURE_SERVER____CGI_URL__
ifndef SECURE_ENABLE
SecureURL http://__SERVER_NAME____CGI_URL__
endif
# Set the image path for relative images
ImageDir __IMAGE_DIR__/
ImageDirInternal http://__SERVER_NAME____IMAGE_DIR__/
#==========================================================================#
I think that is what SECURE_ENABLE for. So, your SSL may work fine if the
above "ifndef .. endif" is removed, or altered. Some admin wizard pages also
use the variable
lib/UI/pages/admin/wizard/do_launch.html:enablesecure =>
'SECURE_ENABLE',
lib/UI/pages/admin/wizard/do_save.html: SECURE_ENABLE =>
'Security',
lib/UI/pages/admin/wizard/do_save.html:enablesecure =>
'SECURE_ENABLE',
lib/UI/pages/include/meta/mv_metadata.asc:variable::Variable::SECURE_ENABLE
yesno
That's what I can tell from practical use point of view. Mike or some other
icgroup members can give you answer from programing point of view, and why
it's not documented.
