4 | (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)ONEcount displays end user facing functions/pages (i.e. forms) in the client's look and feel for each of their brands. ONEcount does this by fetching the header and footer portion of a blank web page containing ONEcount markers. These generic markers are provided to the client during the onboarding process. | ||

8 | (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)All of the ONEcount interfaces (e.g. forms) are accessed using SSL (Secure Socket Layer – (% style="color: rgb(0,0,129);" %)[[https:~~/~~/protocol>>url:https://protocol||rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="external-link"]])(% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %). If a client doesn't have SSL for their site some content on the header/footer web page may be blocked, causing security popups and/or display issues. In an effort to alleviate this issue, ONEcount will try to load non-SSL contents using a proxy with SSL. This resolves the issue with static non-SSL contents in the header/footer page; but if there are any dynamically generated and/or referenced non-SSL elements in the page, the proxy method will fail and security warnings may appear or the visual content may display incorrectly. | ||

10 | === Resolution of Possible Issues === | ||
11 | |||
12 | Following are recommendations to resolve issues with non-SSL dynamically generated/referenced content: | ||
13 | |||
14 | ~1. Suppress any elements/plugins that are not SSL ready. | ||
15 | |||
16 | 2. Suppress any banners/ads that are served through a non-SSL ready ad server. In order for ads to display, the ad server must be SSL ready. | ||
17 | |||
18 | 3. Use the full (absolute) URL path when referencing any assets on the page, including background images in CSS or in-line style. If your CSS file has such references, create a local copy of the CSS, if possible, change the URLs, and use that. | ||
