Websites that ask for sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords, often use secure connections to transmit content to and from the computer you're using. If you're visiting a site via a secure connection, Google Chrome will verify that the content on the web page has been transmitted safely. If it detects certain types of content on the page coming from insecure channels, it can automatically prevent the content from loading and you'll see a shield icon  appearing in the address bar. By blocking the content and possible security gaps, Chrome protects your information on the page from falling into the wrong hands.

As a result, parts of the

page may not display when Chrome blocks the insecure content.

To enable the insecure content

Although not recommended, you can choose to override the alert for the page by selecting Load unsafe script. Chrome will refresh the page and load its content, including any insecure content. The URL in the address bar will show  to indicate that the page is not fully secure.

Advanced tips

You can choose to block certain types of web content, such as JavaScript and images, for all sites by visiting your Settings page. See more information on adjusting your web content settings.

Although not recommended, you can also use the command line flag --allow-running-insecure-content to prevent Chrome from checking for insecure content. Instructions on how to add a command line flag can be found on the Chromium site (English only).

If the HTTPS page you visit includes HTTP content, the HTTP portion can be read or modified by attackers, even though the main page is served over HTTPS. When an HTTPS page has HTTP content, we call that content “mixed”. The page you are visiting is only partially encrypted and even though it appears to be secure, it isn't.

When you see the shield icon in the address bar, it means that Firefox has blocked content that is insecure.

As a result, parts of the page may not display.

To enable the insecure content in Firefox

Although not recommended, you can unblock the insecure content by selecting "Disable Protection on This Page" from the drop down box.

Firefox will then load the web page including any insecure content. The lock icon in the address bar will be replaced with an orange warning triangle icon to remind you that insecure content is being displayed.

To revert the previous action (block mixed content), open the web page in a new tab.

Using a Firefox Add On to Block or Display Mixed Content

As an alternative, a Firefox add on extension (Toggle Mixed Active Content) can be installed, which toggles the preference of blocking mixed active content on the web page.

The add-on can be toggled on or off by selecting the Add-on icon.

When viewing a website in Internet Explorer 9 or later, you receive a message that says "Only secure content is displayed."

Issue *

This message is telling you that there may be both secure and non-secure content on the page. Secure and non-secure content, or mixed content, means that a webpage is trying to display elements using both secure (HTTPS/SSL) and non-secure (HTTP) web server connections. This often happens with online stores or financial sites that display images, banners, or scripts that are coming from a server that is not secured. The risk of displaying mixed content is that a non-secure webpage or script might be able to access information from the secure content.

As a result, parts of the page may not display when Chrome blocks the insecure content.

To show the insecure content

Although not recommended, you can choose to override the blocked content by selecting Show All Content.

To Disable the Mixed Content Block Setting

Internet Explorer blocks non-secure content by default and is set to prompt you when this is happening. Changing this setting may make your computer vulnerable to viral, fraudulent or malicious attacks. Microsoft does not recommend that you attempt to change this setting. Modify this setting at your own risk.

Please see the following web page for instructions on how to change this setting and disable this feature for a particular zone in Internet Explorer.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2625928

Note: When this setting is set to Enable, Internet Explorer does not prompt you with the "Only secure content is displayed" message even if the web page is using non-secure elements.

It is recommended that OPERA Cloud is added to the Trusted Sites zone along with the root site http://www.gmodules.com/ which is the root of the HTTP request that the Portlets use to initiate the widgets. (Select the thumbnail below to view the browser console log screenshot .)

Safari displays a lock icon at the top of the Safari window or in the address field when you are visiting a secure website.

Safari does not show a warning message for websites with mixed content. Instead, when Safari detects a secure website that contains insecure content, the lock icon is missing from the top of the Safari window in the address field.

You can view warning messages for the insecure content in the error console.

To View the Warning Message in the Error Console

1. Select the Develop menu, and then select Show Error Console

2. You can view the warnings using the default view (All) or you can select Warnings.

See the example warning below:

Ask Before Sending A Non-Secure Form From A Secure Website

Sometimes an otherwise secure website may fail to provide a secure way to submit a form, such as one containing your password or credit card number. Safari displays a message when this is about to happen, so you can cancel.

To enable/disable this message:

1. Select Settings > Preferences

2. Select the Security Tab, and then either select or unselect Ask before sending a non-secure form to a secure website
