Security Warning - https

[igorot]

I configured SSL under Tomcat but I'm running into a problem wherein all alfresco pages are throwing a "Security Warning". I noticed that this only occurs on IE. I'm running Alfresco Community 3.2r.

Any hints or suggestions are appreciated.

The "security warning" is popping up probably because you are using a self-signed certificate.  Browsers like to scare the bejezus outta of users when presented with a certificate that was not issued from a CA such as Veri$ign.

Unfortunately the only way to really resolve this is forking out the 500-1000 dollars and buying a certificate.   There are some work arounds out there for browsers (google: install self signed certificate internet explorer) but these workarounds would need to be done on every client browser, which obviously is very cumbersome.

It was issued by Thawte.

The issue is there is a call back in the alfresco footer to something to the effect of "http://alfresco.com"

Its a mixed content error because there is some unsecure content

This happens error is thrown in all browsers but IE is the only one tho nags you. 

the solution is to edit and recompile the footer which i believe is in a jar file somewhere

I would be great full if anyone knows how to fix it.  I just edited the security policy for everyone to not nag people

How to get rid of the footer warning problems….

http://www.mcqueeney.com/roller/page/tom?entry=how_to_get_rid_of

if all you want to do is to get rid of the text, an easier way is just to edit

tomcat/webapps/alfresco/css/main.css

and change:

.footer
{
   font-family: Arial,Helvetica;
   font-size: 10px;
}‍‍‍‍‍

by

.footer
{
   font-family: Arial,Helvetica;
   font-size: 10px;
   display: none;
}‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hello,
I would like to remove the security warning in the web browser, but when I add :

span.footer
{
display:none!important;
}‍‍‍‍

or when i modify this part :

.footer
{
   font-family: Arial,Helvetica;
   font-size: 10px;
   display: none;
}‍‍‍‍‍‍

in

/opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/css/main.css‍

after an Alfresco (version 5.0.d) reboot, there isn't any improvement, I still have the security warning.

Do you have any idea how can I fix this problem ?

Thanks

Refer this post.
I removed the footer in ACE 5.0.d on Windows 7 machine.
You need to change the footer.css which is present in, 

C:\Alfresco50d\tomcat\webapps\share\components\footer\footer.css ‍

/* Footer Component */
.footer
{
   background-color: #fafafa;
   border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
   text-align: center;
   padding: 0;
   display:none!important;
}
