The normal configuration we recommend is WebSTAR + WebSTAR/SSL + WebCatalog all on one box. Then this becomes a non-issue because you can just serve your other databases with WebCatalog via http: instead of https:If you've got 2 boxes, then is WebCatalog running *only* on the SSL box? If so, how do people do their browsing with WebCatalog on the non-SSL box? Or is all shopping done via SSL (which is pretty slow considering all the graphics would be encrypted too)?Considering the ratio of lookie-loos to actual buyers, it's quite reasonable to be running both W* and W*SSL on the same machine, because the vast majority of hits are thru non-SSL.I don't think you can reconfigure SSL to port 80, because browsers expect port 443 for SSL stuff.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
