Our site has a shopping cart, and taking credit cards requires being "PCI Compliant", which is a test done by a 3rd party.   Our PCI compliance tests have just started complaining that the various forms in the /forum/ part of our web site don't require https (ssl).

yeah, yeah, I know web wiz doesn't have anything to do with the shopping cart, but you go convince the people that run the tests.  Independent thought is apparently not something we're paying them for.

I've looked through the web wiz configuration and in your KB and this forum, and I don't see anything.

Is there some way to tell web wiz to use https when asking for passwords?

Thanks.

  You would need to use an HTTPS SSL connection for the whole forum. This is required by PCI Compliance anyway so that cookies used within Web Wiz Forums are also encrypted as the members move around the forum.
