Good Morning,

I just want to know how HTTPS works, I'm facing a problem, I want to secure a websites so that users could not use url/ track the url without first logging on the System.

The users should only see the url for the Index page or login page only.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards

You don't need to use SSL (https) for this. You need to add some kind of access control to your site.

What technology are you using for your site? Static .html files? PHP? ASP? a full-blown CMS?

In a nutshell: SSL is useful for protecting information as it passes from the server to the client and back (e.g. your banking details), but it's not a means of restricting which pages users can view.
