Not sure what else to say. You can get a Secure Cert depending on several factors: 1. Your department approves it. 2. Your hosting company offers them with the site (if you host through a company). 3. You are a legitimate business. You can get them from www.thawte.com or whoever your hosting company recommends. You signup for it by first creating a request code on the server and then submit it to the company like Verisign or Thawte. Then you have to prove that you're a real company like you say you are by sending in Articles of Incorporation and other junk. Within a few days, you've got a Cert. They give you a code, you install it and call your site with https instead of http. the browser does the rest. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager ------------------------- New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/
