myFramingham is a secure site. The site uses frames, though. With frames, you can display more than one Web page in the same browser window. The web pages within the registration section of myFramingham consist of the top frame and main frame. The top frame contains the myFramingham graphic as well as a back link and icons links to email, Blackboard, etc. The main frame contains your personal information, date, registration information, etc.
Currently, browsers do not properly display secure certificate information for a portion of a frame set that is secured. Because of this, the security "padlock" will not appear in your browser window. Despite the absence of the "padlock" your data is secure.
To verify that this page is secure, you can do the following:
Directions for Internet Explorer:
Right click on any white space within the main frame area and then select "Properties". The connection will show "SSL", the URL will show the https:// and clicking on "Certificates" will provide our secure certificate details.
Directions for Firefox:
Firefox will only provide URL information for a frame page. If you right click on any white space within the main frame area and then select "This Frame" then select "View Frame Info", the URL will show the https://.
This same process can be applied to any page within myFramingham to verify the secure connection. Make sure to click the area for which you wish to verify the security.
