Test your SSL certificate by using a browser to connect to your server.
Use the https protocol directive. For example, if your
SSL was issued to secure.mysite.com, enter https://secure.mysite.com into
your browser.
The gold padlock icon 
on
your browser will be displayed in the locked position if your certificate
is installed correctly and the server
is properly
configured for SSL.
