Question

I want to make only one page request ssl certificate. I tried to use ssl_requirement gem or bartt-ssl_requirement, so I tried:

In my pages_controller:

   ssl_required :admin   

In my application controller:

   include ::SslRequirement

All my pages requires ssl, all are using https.

I tried to generate certificate only for admin page – entered in Common Name field site/admin, but by doing this my application doesn’t working now.

Can someone help me with this ?

Answer 1

Have you tried using the SSL Enforcer gem by Tobias Matthies?
It’s a pretty flexible and robust gem that will allow you to choose which paths need HTTPS and which don’t…

Basically all you need to do is this:

config.middleware.use Rack::SslEnforcer, :only => '/login'
