Using SSL and Dedicated IP in Multisite

Hi,

My host installed SSL for my site along with a Dedicated IP.

1. My IP resolves to wp-signup.php page is that ok? or should it resolve to home page?

2. How do I implement the SSL in main sites payment pages,and other pages where information need to be secured?

Currently no pages in my site shows SSL.

How do I implement it?

3. I bought a positive SSL. Upto how many pages in the main domain I can implement the SSL certificate and Can I use it on sub-domains?

Please help me.

    technically your IP doesn’t resolve to the signup page. what happens is that WordPress is detecting that your ip is not a registered subdomain under your multi site and prompting you to create a new subdomain. do ensure that you have a proper domain setup to your site.

    if you are using domain mapping plugin, you should be able to force the user to view all sites under SSL. otherwise, you can go to your network settings and change your home and site url to include https:// that would be preferable.

    there are no limits to the number of pages you can have with SSL. with regards to subdomain, you WILL need either a wildcard SSL or a UCC SSL to enable subdomains. I would strongly recommend a wildcard SSL if you do not foresee any domain mappings or do not need to support SSL a for mapped domains.

    hope these answer your questions
