I have a web page that is secured by an SSL certificate. Users access
it by going to https://mywebpage.html;. This page sends a cgi
request (containing credit card information) to my MacMini server,
located elsewhere. The server is not SSL protected. The credit card
data is then processed
Browsers will warn of certificates they do not have in their
repertoire. If you want to cater for the general population your best
bet, to avoid the warnings, is to get a certificate from a known
vendor (ie: known to the browsers). If the audience is limited, you
can generate a certificate
Hi Luis,
I wish this was the problem, but I am using a very well known
vendor one of the biggest on the Internet. Seems the problem lies
with the sending to an http address.

What exactly do you mean by 'The server is not SSL protected.'?
Is the certificate installed on the server? Apple Server Admin pdf -

There is no certificate on the server. I had not installed one and
didn't think I needed to. The web page is secure and the connection
from the server to the payment gateway is secure. I don't think there
is actually a security issue here, but Firefox and Safari don't know
this, so they
You'd need the certificate on the server: The browsers are
complaining that the data is sent to a server that is not 'certified'.
You could opt for clients to install the certificate as part of the
list their browsers have (essentially 'approving' the server) or opt
for 'Do not ask again'
Richard-
Aside from the technical issues, if I were on the customer side of things
and in the middle of processing a credit card transaction my browser gave me
a security warning, I would immediately abort the process and never go back,
resulting in a lost sale for you and your client.
