We are having problems getting Google to index our site. We decided it was easiest to just use https for the entire site.
Do we need to change it so that the anonymous, "public", areas of the site are not encrypted for them to be indexed?
Will Google index a site which forces HTTPS or SSL?

Yes, they will.
Example search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22SSL+Certificates+-+Secure+Your+Data+%26+Transactions%22+site%3Agodaddy.com
You should see a result indicating the URL is "https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp".

They do. Here's another references: http://www.google.com/search?q=mdc+javascript First result is an https address
Yes, they'll index https just fine. Remember that https is a transport protocol to ensure that folks in the middle of the wire can't eavesdrop (. . . as easily . . . ) or muck w /the traffic.
They will not index password protected portions, of course.
