HTTPS Support¶
Overview¶
HTTPS ensures secure communication over the network by encrypting data.
Django’s Protection Mechanisms¶
- SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT: Redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS.
- SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE: Ensure cookies are only sent over HTTPS.
- CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE: Ensure CSRF cookies are only sent over HTTPS.
Example¶
# settings.py
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True
Best Practices¶
- Obtain and install an SSL/TLS certificate.
- Enable HTTPS settings in Django.
- Regularly monitor and update your SSL/TLS configuration.
