If your SSL is not set up properly, then you will get an error message saying that the website connect. It will look something like this:
If you receive a message like this one, please check with your host to make sure that you have the SSL set up and your SSL provider that your certificate is valid.
After the SSL Certificate is set-up properly with the host, the developer must enable Sitefinity to use SSL. Although this would require code in a regular ASP.NET application, Sitefinity enables SSL by selecting the enable SSL property from the page properties section. This can be accessed by following these steps:
Rooted path:
/products/sitefinity.aspx
(always starts from the server root or immediately after the domain name )
Relative paths:
sitefinity/features.aspx
(the path starts from the current folder, in this case /products/)
Application based:
~/products/sitefinity.aspx
(this works only for server controls!!!)
Other than these paths, that prompt will also appear with any frame, iframe, or img tags with a blank or unspecified src attribute. Any use of "about:____" pages will also make that prompt appear. For a more detailed discussion, please read this article.
