https for login only

[Gabriel Torres]

Hi guys,

I cannot deploy https site-wide as our advertisements are not served as https, and when I enable https the browser keeps complaining that we are displaying non-secure content.

I wonder if it is possible to enable https only for the login screens.

Thank you in advance,

Gabriel.

@Simon Woods That is great, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Does anyone have any idea on how to configure nginx to make this possible?

As long as it is configured to accept requests via HTTP or HTTPS, you should not have to do anything.  IPS does the rest.  When you start via HTTP...  if you click a link to a login page, the source code will include the link to HTTPS automatically but for any other link such as /profile or /discover, return it via HTTP.

@Randy Calvert Thanks, I will try it out during the weekend and will give a shout if I face any trouble.
