I just finished installing a SSL Cert in my site, but I have seen an option in the JR admin panel to turn on SSL, just can't remember where.

It's not something you just turn on - you have to:

1) install the key and certificates (both domain and chain) onto your server, and ensure the domain has been configured in Apache correctly for SSL.

2) You need to modify the data/config/config.php file and update the URL to be SSL (if you want everything to be on SSL)

3) You need to add the proper redirect mod_rewrite rules to your .htaccess file so access to port 80 is redirected to port 443.

Your hosting provider should assist you with this.

Hope this helps!

The only ACP 'ssl' setting is in the user module, but that is to do with converting links in text strings. Maybe its that you are thinking of?
