By default, most of our site is not SSL encrypted, just when they would go to specific areas, like shopping cart, etc, that we switch to https. If they just follow the links on our site, and not manually type in the incorrect one, it will take them to the https://www.domainname.com/..... part of the site and the SSL certificate will work as expected. The only time this error occurs is if the user were to manually type in the location bar in their browser https://domainname.com. After some of the replies to this thread, I checked back through the access logs and this situation has only happened 2 times in the last month. I think that I am going to push at management that this is a non-issue and not worth wasting any more time and see what they might say. -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window. -- Steve Wozniak
