GeoTrust SSL yellow lock doesn't show up in browser status bar

[param_nirvana]

Hi all,

I got a GeoTrust SSL and trying to setup oscommerce with it.

 

https got working I can shop also without any problem except that the little yellow lock doesn't appear in the IE6 browser window.

In mozilla it appears with a warning.

 

In IE7 I get the security pop windows clicking yes goes further and this window keeps on appearing every time https pages are visited.

Also lock icon doesn't appear in status bar.

 

Also in IE7 if I click on NO to security window the pages are distorted, images are missing and so on.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks

I wish I could. Sorry for that.

 

Following are more info

 

In IE7 it displays a Security Window.

If I access another (working SSL) website it doesn't show any security window Popup?

 

Why for this non working SSL the IE7 shows security window? If the SSL is working it should not show any security window at all?

Further update.

 

When I click on the status bar where the lock should have been I see the certificate with everything okie except that

"The page you are viewing were not encrypted before being transmitted....."

 

Does this give some clue?

Using IE7, it warns you about certificate errors. Click the "Continue to website".

 

After you're there, you can click the padlock in the address bar, and "View Certificate".

 

You can then see exactly who the certificate is issued to so you can alter the congfig file to match.

 

A commone error is this:

 

The cert. is issued for https://yoursite.com, but you're accessing it https://www.yoursite.com (or vice versa)

 

Does that help at all?

Already checked that one.

Certificate is issued to www.mydomain.com and config file has http://(https://)www.mydomain.com

 

Another interesting fact is that Admin SSL is working fine

 

Humm!!!!

 

Any clue?

So what's the HTTPS address in the admin config file, compared to the catalog config file?

:unsure:

 

That's all I can guess (without a link to see what's up).

Catalog

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com');

 

Admin

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mydomain.com');

 

Are there any difference?

 

Another interesting thing....

 

Lock appears for few secs when pages in catalog start to appear but disappears ultimately.

 

Admin works like a charm...

 

Can't figure out almost scratched all my hairs out of head :'(
