Greetings to you all. I am trying to delop a site and wanted users to login seusurely over ssl. I am using rails 1.8.6 and when ever I try to configure the apache server using this code, it stopes giving me a spelling error or code not suitable

Thisis the code I use to cinfigure the apche server to access the page called "user/login"

in the httpd.config i use,

<virtualHost *:433> SSLEngine on RequestHeader set user/login "https"

</virtualHost> I also put this code int he application_controller

def ssl_required?     true end

Then I call ssl_required on different controllers i want ot secure

for example ssl_required :login

Hi,

In your httpd.conf add this line under VirtualHost:443 block

Then your VirtualHost looks like below:

<virtualHost *:433> SSLEngine on

RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO ‘https’

And remove def ssl_required? from application_controller.rb

Restart apache.
