| How can I verify that Campus Connect is secure? |
There is a simple test to determine if a web page is secure:
On a Microsoft Windows based system running Microsoft Internet Explorer
Click the right mouse button while the mouse pointer is positioned on a blank area of the web page
Select properties (A screen with information about that page will appear).
Click on certificates (if the page is not secure, a message will be displayed that no certificate exists,
or else, information about the Secure Server Certificate will be displayed)

Why don't I see the lock at the bottom of my browser if the page is secure? |
Looking for the lock at the bottom of your web browser is a good process to establish if a page is secure or
not, this method will not work for particular categories of web pages, in particular web pages loaded into
frames. The reason why the padlock doesn't appear is because the Campus Connect secure pages are framed inside
frames that are not secure. Since the padlock only indicates the security of the outside frames, the padlock
does not appear.
Campus Connect frames SSL pages inside non SSL frames in order to prevent the browser from popping up dialogue
boxes that alert the user that SSL is enabled. These pop up dialogue boxes are a distraction for the majority
of Campus Connect users.
