hi,
i created a server request certificate which is a text file i generated using a wizard in iis.
Do i need a server certificate for enabling SSL for my application ?
(i think yes )
if so how can i create it without using any third party certification company so that i can register my IIS server to use ssl?

I also see SSL PORT IS not enabled for this website.So what i can do next to enable ssl in my application?

any suggestions are welcome..

thnks for help in advance.

I think you should check out this article:

Though it has nothing to do with your FF problem, it should help you prevent a different one, sql injection.

is ssl free to use?

To use SSL the way it is meant to be used you must purchase a certificate from an agency such as Verisign. They run around $1000 I believe and in order to utilize SSL you just point to that certificate.

Certificates give you:

Strong encryption.
Trust that the site that you are accessing is safe.
Trust that the site that you are accessing is who they say they are.

If you create your own certificate then you your customer's browser will display a big warning message to say that your site is protected by an untrusted certificate. It doesn't prove whether you are a good guy or a bad guy - just that you are not explicitely trusted.

Using a certificate from a trusted authority (e.g. Verisign, Thwaites, etc) means that the authority is convinced that your site is trusted. Customer browsers will not display an warning message under this circumstance.

There are quite a few authorities out there - Verisign is one of the more expensive.

Hope that helps.

thanks for the reply,

you said that that Certificates give me "strong encryption".can you please say how does it work out( i mean how does getting from certificate authority make my site more secure ?

Can u suggest a good economical certification authority which does not pop up as untrusted certificate.

is it that all ssl certifying authorities (cheap or costly) are fine and are trusted authorities or they are fake ones which may cheat us?

i am novice using ssl and i need to implement ssl for my credit card transactions so i need more information.

any suggestions are welcome....

thnks for your time and effort in advance

this is the code to do that, Dont forget to score it if it satisfies your need.

FileStream fileStream = new FileStream("c:\\Admin.rtf", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read);

long len;

len = fileStream.Length;

Byte[] fileAsByte = new Byte[len];

fileStream.Read(fileAsByte, 0, fileAsByte.Length);

now you are having data in fileAsByte variable

database
========

add a field in your table as image type
then pass this value there

all the best

Read the data back to varable fileAsByte

then do the following

Response.Clear();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();

Response.Buffer = true;
Response.ContentType = "application/rtf";
Response.BinaryWrite(fileAsByte);
Response.End();
