warning: contains unauthenticated content

I have a crossed lock in firefox when I test the checkout for paypal express, with "warning: contains unauthenticated content". It occurs on the first page when I enter paypal.

Does this mean I require dedicated ssl on my catalog?

I am currently using shared ssl.

sulis.instanthosting.com.au uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.

Thank you kindly Merlin.

Do you think the way forward is for me to setup dedicated SSL?

Re: warning: contains unauthenticated content

or get your host to use a real cert not a self signed...

Does the host offer dedicated IP address?

Re: warning: contains unauthenticated content

I'm not sure Merlin, I'll have to check.

I just turned off shared ssl on the catalog. The problem with the crossed lock has gone away now in both IE and Firefox. PayPal is giving a secure site lock now. Considering I am using PayPal Express only do you think this is an OK way to leave things? or should I pursue it further.

Re: warning: contains unauthenticated content

well since I know how express works,
I would suggest using ssl, however if you are comfortable with a customer being able to login and view personal details in a non secure enviornment then that is totally up to you..

ssl is not required
