Support - Secure Form

For an additional charge, you may protect the security of information on your Web pages, and any information entered by user input (forms) by using Adhost's Secure Server. When the user browses to the secure area, the Web browser will automatically try to set up a secure, encrypted connection.This is done by using the https: URL prefix.

Step By Step Instructions

Note: The script sorts the results by the value of the name.You can change the order by changing the name values with a number_value name.Such as: Name="03_Address", Name="04_city" and Name="05_State".

1. Contact support@adhost.com to have your secure site setup.
2. Create your entry forms.
   • The FORM ACTION entry for a Secure Server should be:
     https://secureservername.adhost.com/cgi-bin/secureform.pl
   • You must include something similar to the following tag to tell the handler where the files are located.
     
   • You may also include an optional tag, "form_show", which determines what will be returned to the user after she Submits the form. "NO" (the default) displays a simple "Thank You" message. "YES" displays what the user entered on the form.
     
     

     As an alternate method you may use the form_responseURL input.
     (ie: VALUE=contact/response.html)
     You need to make the response page as well, and place it in the appropriate directory.You may also create a responseURL page that is not located on this server. In that case you would have to give a full URL path.(http://www.domain.com/folder/myresponse.html)
     Note: This response page MUST exist (if you use the responseURL tag)or the form submit will fail.

3. The remainder of the setup is done through a configuration file called either secureform.cfg or basket.cfg which lives in yourprotected data directory.
4. All URL links to any files on a Secure Server must be referenced using the https://secureservername.adhost.com/ prefix.
5. To view or print your orders, use the "Order Manager" which is accessed within your secure area by using a URL similar to
   https://ssl.adhost.com/securedemo/data/
   You may bookmark that page, but do NOT bookmark the "Order" page it creates, since that page MUST be created dynamically to show your latest orders.
6. All data sent or received by the secure server is encrypted using SSL, the Secure Socket Layer.
7. All data within the "data" directory is double secured, once by the secure server, and again with password protection.
8. Adhost also offers a secure "merchant system" for an additional charge.
