Procedure 3.1. Checking Site Security with Firefox

If neither of the lock icons are present in your browser and a verified certificate cannot be found, you may not be connected to the correct site. If you are unable to reach the secure Red Hat Customer Portal site, contact Red Hat Support and report this problem.
