Hi,
I've purchased a SSL certificate, but within CB I can only choose between the whole site or just the administrator pages (in the field Force SSL).
I would like to keep the public part as plain HTTP, no encryption, and just use SSL for the registered login and sessions.
You can't switch from HTTPS to HTTP without getting cross content browser warnings and normally takes a user action to get around this. You can try forcing it, but I've no idea how well this is going to go; at any rate try the below.
1. Edit your login module and set login to use HTTPS.
2. Use CB Auto Actions on the after login trigger in a redirect action to redirect to your desired location, but include livesite as http (e.g. http://example/index.php).
You basically could do the same with after registration trigger if you wanted to redirect after registration.
Basically the best approach is if you have SSL then use it always.

THanks, that may help.
However, I am under the impression that if I make the whole site running SSL, posted public articles may not be searchable by search engines, which is what I like to achieve, and only protect the logins and registered sessions.
So, I don't want to switch from HTTPS to HTTP, but from HTTP to HTTPS once sensitive data is being handled.
Anyway, I'll give it a try, if I can find that CB Auto Actions, have only seen something like that in Groupjive, but haven't figured that out yet.
SSL isn't going to hurt SEO. Google and all other search engines can index HTTPS URLs perfectly fine.

It's in the professional downloads section.
