Why there is a cross on on https?
- Abhimanyu K Vatsa15y ago
  @Randima: I'm using Google Chrome browser and it displays https certificate (fore secure connection) using cross mark.

Good One Man.. Also, which OS IIS screen shot used here. What happens if i create a new certificate instead of deleting others?
- Abhimanyu K Vatsa15y agoedited
  @Suthish: Hey joking, you already know better than me. Nothing will happen if you create new additional certificate. I assisted reader to delete all old certificates so that browser force to use https, if you not delete then automatically (by default) browser will use http, so to check this you have to write in address bar something like https://comp-name/vdirectory. I'm using Win Server 2008 R2.

  See this is how knowledge shared, i didn't know that how https worked. Keep posting..
