Hi Jim
Not sure if this is the issue but if you have other media resources loading
(eg. CSS, gif, jpg etc) on your page then these also need to be behind your
certificate. The browser https padlock will show as broken if there are
insecure assets loading on a secure page.

> In the above example, 12.345.67.89 is the IP address of the firewall, and port

> 3) Added the certificate in Server Manager on the server, and it shows up as
> valid

> BUT - I still get warning messages in my browser when I access the app, since
> the url that I type in <https://12.345.67.89:5922/rfMyApp.htm> does not match
> the certificate name 'jimsdomain.com'
