In looking through previous posts I haven't found anything that specifically answers my question. I have a rails search application that will hold sensitive client information, therefore, I want to at least secure the login page, but feel I should also secure the entire site. I've read how to obtain an SSL certificate, but what is required to make the rails application use this? Do I need to make any code changes? How can I secure the entire site?
Thank you in advance!

Hi - Once we install SSL certificate for your domain, you will be able to access your domain via https://domainname.com. So you can add a few rewrite rules for the domain in your .htaccess (FastCGI) or virtual host (for mongrels) to redirect all the access to your domain to https.
