An association needs to introduce the SSL Certificate onto its web server to start secure meetings with programs. Contingent upon the kind of SSL Certificate applied for, the association should go through varying degrees of reviewing. Once introduced, it is feasible to associate with the site over https://www.domain.com, as this advises the server to build up a solid association with the program. When a solid association is set up, all web traffic between the web server and the internet browser will be secure.
