Https, secure browsing, certificates

In Safari on the iTouch (2.1 software, and presumably the same as iPhone) I can connect to an https site. I can see the little lock icon in the address bar. But how do I know that the certificate has actually been checked and verified?
In Safari on the Mac, if I click the equivalent lock icon, I can see the certificate. This doesn't work AFAICT on the touch, the lock icon seems to only be a display. I've been trained to check the certificate before trusting the website with passwords tied to money etc.
I could believe that in this stripped-down version of Safari, they don't have the hooks to view the certificate, and maybe I will just get a warning if it can't be verified, or maybe there won't be a lock icon? But I haven't been able to find that documented anywhere. For all I know, this stripped-down Safari doesn't check certificates at all.
Can anyone shed any light on this, and if you think you know, point me at some Apple documentation that makes this clear?
I'd really like to use my touch to access eBay, etc., but not if I can't be sure I'm really on a secure page.

Thanks, actually it does. Most of this is either Mac/Safari or Enterprise client-side certs I'd previously mentioned, but the first link,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2351
"About the security content of iPhone v2.0 and iPod touch v2.0"
probably puts the question to rest.
+CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1589+
+Description: When Safari accesses a website that uses a self-signed or invalid certificate, it prompts the user to accept or reject the certificate. If the user presses the menu button while at the prompt, then on the next visit to the site, the certificate is accepted with no prompt. This may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. This update addresses the issue through improved handling of certificates. ...+
I think this statement of expected behavior, plus some of the information provided in the other thread I mentioned, pretty much makes clear that it works as expected to check certificates. I'm confident enough that I won't hesitate to access secure sites with my CC while traveling.
I still maintain there's room for improvement in both the operation (display certificates) and documentation of Mobile Safari wrt https (a patch notification summary for now-obsolete versions of firmware is not how this important info should get communicated to users, IMO). But I won't beat this dead horse any further. My question is answered to my satisfaction.
Thanks again to all.

[Security:090508]Certificate chain received from 'hostname' was incomplete

Hey All,
I am trying to set up a Managed Server and have it talk to the NodeManager running

Here is what I have done:
1) I created a managed server using admin console
2) I created both an Identity and Trust keystore (jks type file) with the server's
private key (Identity) and the root trusted certificate authority (Trust).
3) I configured my managed server to use the two keystores
4) I edited the NodeManager.properties file to use the same keystores.
5) I started the NodeManager on the machine and I used the following command line
options by editing the %WL_HOME%\server\bin\startNodeManager.cmd file:
-Dweblogic.nodemanager.debugLevel=90
-Dssl.debug=true
-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=weblogic.net
6) I also added the following commands to my startWebLogic.cmd file:
-Dweblogic.security.SSL.ignoreHostnameVerification=true
-Dssl.debug=true
-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=weblogic.net
7) I started my admin server and created a Machine that included the managed server.
8) I configured the NodeManager properties for the Machine I created to point
to the NodeManager already running on that physical box.
9) I clicked on the tab to "Monitor" the NodeManager/Machine and it died giving
the above exception.
I would have no idea why the Certificate chain would be "incomplete". The Issuer
and Subject DNs match up fine:

How to install a browser certificate OTA

Does anybody know if it's possible to install a browser certificate (for authentication) OTA?
I know that if the certificate is installed in the internet explorer, we can use the desktop manager to synchronize certificates with the device. But unfortunately most of our users do not have the desktop manager installed.
First I was thinking about policies to push the certificate onto the device, but our BB admin told me that you can
not define policies per user (one certificate per user).
I would be nice if it were possible to send the user a http link (email), so that he can fire up the browser and download the certificate. Just like in ie or firefox.
Any ideas?

Even with a firefox reset my secure browsing will not turn off

i thought this would be easy to fix i popped over to security changed it all clicked ok then shut down firefox and reopened ................i was back where i started :( so i changed it again and nothing changes i still get this
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to lotto.funhousegaming.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

How to stop HTTP Security warning message in transactional iview

When I am trying to access ECC through transactional iview then I am getting HTTP security warning message i.e. This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?
I think it is because portal is accessable using HTTPS protocol and when we access ECC then it uses HTTP Protocol.
Pl help to resolve.

Hi AshuGrover_in,
First, welcome on SDN!
> I think it is because portal is accessable using HTTPS protocol and when we access ECC then it uses HTTP Protocol.
> Pl help to resolve.
This might very well be the root cause of the issue, and if it is, you know the resolution - make all systems accessible via https.
Anyhow, to examine the exact cause creating this message you could use tools like HttpWatch or something similar and record the client accesses to the server. If you originally have a GET to a https address, the first http request caused by the original request will throw this message.
Theoretically, on client side, you can switch off this message: Search for "switch off http https warning" on google and you will get all possible instructions for the different clients. Anyhow, a clean landscape design with complete https connections is the aim you should have.
Hope it helps
Detlev

Howto start a bpel process by using a http-get browser request

Hi,
i need some help with the start of a bpel-process.
My process will be started by a receive-activity which comes from a http-get browser request. Then the process will redirect the request-string to a synchronous service to get back its response to process it (this service has of course a wsdl).
The initial receive-activity needs a port Type and an operation to be declared. These concrete binding declarations must be defined in a wsdl-document i think. But the browser-client has no wsdl (and doesnt need it since it is no webservice, i think). Where do i declare the operation, port Type, etc.? Is it possible that it will be declared in an extra WSDL which represents the bpel-process?
Any help would be appreciated.

What is a secure browser to use?

Firefox and safari updated their software and it says mac osx 10.4.11 can't update. Is there a secure browser to use for my macbook?

The .11 update for 10.4 was the last update for that version. Updates like the .11 are incremental and free, upgrades like to 10.6 are usually paid upgrades and different than updates. Confused yet? LOL. Apples last upgrade to 10.9 is free, and the only upgrade that I'm aware of that Apple has given away. Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements to run 10.6.x before you purchase anything, you may need to upgrade your ram depending on how much you have installed.

Trying to turn off "secure browsing" when I go to FaceBook to play games. This problem started after updating FF.

When I go to FaceBook to play games, FF will ask me if I want to "turn off secure browsing." Yes or I can't play the games. However, it will not let me do a thing except browse the site in "secure browsing" mode. I never had this problem until I updated FF. I have to us IE to play games on FB now. I hate IE. It's so slow and a pain in the backside.
Thanks
Rhea Krussell

In the upper right hand corner of facebook, 1. click the drop down menu next to home. 2. Click on 'Account Settings' from the menu. Now, on the right side, 3. click the option 'Security'. 4. The option to turn off secure browsing will be the second on down on the list in the main part of your screen. Hope this helps.

F-secure browser protection toolbar was compatable with firefox 4 not with firefox 5

See f-secure for an update. f-secure needs to keep their Firefox add-ons up-to-date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox.

Youtube (https)security certificate issue

Hi
I'm using latest firefox version with and recently I'm facing this strange issue ... everytime I try to visit youtube, to be specific, when not logged in on any google accounts .. I can visit http://www.youtube.com but when I try to login, in which case it redirects to https:// and It shows the following error(check image url):
https://imageshack.com/i/ezbe0c53j
And if I try to add exception, it shows this screen(check image url):
https://imageshack.com/i/hj41802cj
(PS: Couldn't find upload option here so I had to use otherimage hosts)
Also I tried changing windows time, adding auto time sync from windows site and also tried changing profile, disabling add on and testing and also tried removing cache/cookies from both google.com and youtube.com and so far nothing worked ... I can't seem to access youtube while logged in (https)
Also its only youtube, no other website shows this security certificate error!
please provide a solution to this asap, thanks!

When you click Add Exception, you get a Google error page instead of a pop-up dialog? Or are you saying that after you added the exception, YouTube's home page won't load. That's mildly suspicious...
If you return to the Add Exception dialog and use the View button, how does the certificate compare with the attached screen shot?

Do Mountain Lion and Safari 6.2.2 support SHA-256 Hash algorithms in HTTPS security certificates?

I use SalesForce for my client CRM. I've just received a notice informing me that they are upgrading from SHA-1 hash to SHA-256 for increased HTTPS certificate security. Will my current OS X version (Mountain Lion) and Safari version (6.2.2) support this upgrade?

NEVERMIND! SalesForce provided a test page and I was able to determine that both my Mac and Windows environments and browsers support the upgrade.
