Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

On the security lock seen on next to the URL bar, the lock is marked as red, even with the trusted certificate added, validated and trusted. The following alert is seen:

"Your connection to <PSC/VC-FQDN> is encrypted using a modern cipher suite. Further, this page includes other resources which are not secure. These resources can be viewed by others while in transit, and can be modified by an attacker to change the behavior of the page. The connection uses TLS 1.2. The connection is encrypted and authenticated using AES_128_GCM and uses ECDHE_RSA as the key exchange mechanism."
