The WebSTAR Server Suite 4 CD will install a Web server with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer encryption) by default. This allows you to accept and serve private information, such as credit cards and personal records, using encryption to protect the data as it flows through the Internet.
For information, see SSL Web Security .
Because the U.S. Commerce Department does not allow StarNine to distribute server encryption software online, all Installers you download from the StarNine site will not directly install a version of the server application with SSL support. When you purchase a copy of WebSTAR Server Suite from StarNine, you will receive a CD and can use it to upgrade your downloaded server to the full version with SSL. Just follow the instructions to upgrade your server, and SSL will install automatically.
Some third-party Plug-Ins may not support HTTPS and SSL connections. If you have difficulties, contact those developers directly.
If you have WebSTAR/SSL on your machine already, a downloaded Installer will allow you to upgrade the SSL: see Using the WebSTAR Upgrade Installer for details.
