How to Fix Facebook SSL Problem
From the start, facebook has allowed users to link fan pages with external websites hosted on other servers without SSL. Up till now this connection was done using unsecure connection which makes it possible for someone to intercept and modify the communication between your server and your facebook page.
Facebook has now introduced secured channel communication for communication between your facebook application i.e fan pages and other sites. This is called Secured Socket Layer (SSL). It is required from 1st October 2011. From this date onward, if your server where your facebook custom page is located does not have SSL installed, users will get the dreaded “secure browsing error” when they visit your facebook page.
This error can be seen from The Simpsons fan page below. This is a page with over 34 million fans. Think about what it means to upset over 30 million people.
When such a message is seen, people tend to conclude that your page is not secured. Most people will prefer to go away from your page immediately.
