Using ssl

[gevensen]

I have a ssl i purchased from bluehost but am unclear how to show my page is https secure with the little lock icon coming up

I understand I have no control over the lock icon

i have a dedicated ip and pro plan

i have 2 domains i found this in the help tutorial for adjusting my htaccess file for having all my subdomains on https

call domain.com the main domain
and subdomain.com the addon domain


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com [R=301,L]

the www.domain.com is that my main domain? or my subdomain

also how bout if i just want certain pages https? such as login, database updates ect??

i used this in my htaccess with my main domain and put in https://www.domain.com and it comes up with a red x showing unsecured?

https://www.domain.com being my main domain name obfuscated for this post

I have gotten to the place where i can get a secure connection on my main domain but not on my subdomain

how do i get a secure connection on my subdomain

You can't. SSL will not work on a subdomain with bluehost. You can, however, use it for a folder within the main domain.

yea i just found that out, the help screens are very confusing about it and seems to indicate you can but you cant
