Is my cert properly installed ?

[Hautokt]

Hi everybody

I used SSL Manager to generate my private key and certificate signing request, and i bought a certificate that i copied in the "CRT" part of SSL Manager. Now the domain i wanted to use this certificate for appears in the "Certificates on server" list.

Is it all done ?
Do i have to do something else to install the certificate and start running pages in https ?
How can i test this certificate ?

Thanks for your help

In order to test this you should just visit the domain that you got the crt for via an https URL. You should do this with Firefox as I have found it to give the move informative output if there is a problem with the crt.

When you visit a secure Web site, it automatically sends you its certificate, and Internet Explorer displays a lock icon on the status bar. Double click on the lock icon to view the information of the secure certificate.

Thanks for these quick answers !

Yes, i know the signs which show me i'm in SSL mode, my question was about the way to go in SSL mode... If i secured "www.mydomain.com", do i just have to type "https://www.mydomain.com" to see my homepage in SSL mode ?

Thanks a lot
