SSL Enable & Authorize.net Security Certificate Error

I went to https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14

I tired every code example given on both the includes/configure.php and the admin/includes/configure.php and got blank pages when I click on "Log yourself in". Finally with the last code example (which I think must be the correct one) I got an error page:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
In the payment module I put in my authorize.net Login ID & Transaction Key, set the mode for Production, the method for credit card. I tried bith Default and Processing for order status and I still get the error page. I am not sure what the problem is. I thought having an authorize.net account gave me a security certificate as well as SSL secure payments for all my sites.

Anybody know what I am doing wrong or what I am missing?

Re: SSL Enable & Authorize.net Security Certificate Error

Did you buy an SSL certificate and have your hosting company install it to work with your hosting account? (They'll need to upgrade you to a static IP address in your hosting account too.)

You must do that before you can activate SSL support in your Zen Cart configuration.

After you've done all that, then you can consider accepting secure payments such as via authorize.net.
