You need to use a secure url address "https://" style rather than "http://".

If your browser has SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) disabled you will need to enable it. SSL is enabled by default.

To enable SSL, in Interenet Explorer:

  1. On the menubar, select Tools, Internet Options, and then select the Advanced Tab.

  2. Scroll down the long list of options, and near the end, check the option Use SSL 3.0.

  3. Press Ok.

To enable SSL in Firefox:

  1. On the menubar, select Tools, Options, and click on Advanced.

  2. Select the Encryption tab, and check the option Use SSL 3.0.

  3. Press Ok.
