# sfSslRequirement plugin

The `sfSslRequirement` is a symfony plugin that provides SSL encryption support for your module actions.

It gives you 2 new security settings: `require_ssl` and `allow_ssl`.
The plugin also adds 2 new `sfAction` methods: `->sslRequired()` and `->sslAllowed()`.

## Logic

As of version 1.2.0:

  * only execute once per request and SF_ENVIRONMENT in one of the environments configured in app_disable_sslfilter
  * if not posting
   * if secured
    * then check if its allowed else redirect from https to http
    * else if secured required redirect from http to https

Until version including version 1.1:

  * If an action is secured with the `require_ssl`, then all HTTP requests will be redirected to the same action but with the HTTPS protocol.

  * If an action is secured and `allow_ssl` is false, then all HTTPS request will be redirected to HTTP.

## Installation

  * Install the plugin

      
        symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfSslRequirementPlugin
      

  * Activate the filter in your `filters.yml`

      
        sfSslRequirement:
          class: sfSslRequirementFilter
      

  * Clear your cache

      
        symfony cc
      

### Secure your application

To force SSL on an action:

  * Add the following snippet to the module `security.yml`:

      
        sslAction:
          require_ssl: true
      

  * You're done. Now, if you try to access the `sslAction` with HTTP, you will be automatically redirected to HTTPS.
  * The `sslAction` listed here is an example.  Substitute with your actual action name.
