No yellow lock

[Guest]

I asked my hosting company to install a SSL certificate for my web site. But
when I click on https://www.netwebmax.com , I see a yellow lock appearing for
1 second and then it disappear. But if I double-click on the box on the left
of the earth icon (on the bottom right), I see the details of the SSL
certificate. So I don't know if the problem comes from my browser or if it
comes from the SSL certificate. Can you check it please?

 

[Andrew Murray]

I don't know much about SSL, but I did see a message "this page contains
both secure and non secure items" (referring to images and such I expect) -
I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem.

Interesting. I didn't see that.
I saw the Microsoft article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825493/en-us
I want only a few payment pages to be in SSL.
If I follow the article and check the Encrypted connection required (SSL)
check box, all of my web site will be in SSL.
Is it the right way?

The problem is you are using a shared SSL that is not in the name of your domain. You would need to
have your own SSL.

I don't use shared SSL. I bought a SSL certificate for my domain.
Should I follow the Microsoft article I quoted?

I see the "yellow" lock just fine on both IE and FF.

That's good. Did you see a message "this page contains
both secure and non secure items" like Andrew said?
Do I have to publish my web site according to the Microsoft article at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825493/en-us ?
Or it's not necessary ?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Sorry, I didn't read the certificate carefully. However you do have a problem since not all of your
page display the lock or they display for only a few seconds. Part of the problem might be being
cause by the fact that you are going in and out of ASP sessions, since you have some pages with .htm
and .asp extensions. When a .htm page is open the ASP session is suspended. Rename all of your pages
to have a .asp extension.

Hi
I would move all page elements of the payment pages to the secure server to
stop the
"this page contains both secure and non secure items" message. I think it
might put some purchasers off committing to a sale.

Your problem is the version check for the flash file. Take out the flash
file, OR take out the version check for the flash file.

Likewise, the script for the site seal is in HTTP. Try making it HTTPS.
(Or take it out).

Bottom line, you can't embed ANY object from a different server if you are
doing SSL and want to avoid the messages and "lock symbol" problems.

Search your code for "http" and you will find the problems.

Doesn't this happen if there's a link to the outside world as well? Just
askin' for my own edumacation.

Yes.

Any link within an SSL page must either be doc relative, or absolute with an
https protocol.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Yes, if I understand your question.

So the pages that display the warning are pages with the links to affliates
and other such stuff.
