Install SSL certificate for iFrame based Facebook apps to support https mode

Posted on 18/04/11 by shibu.basheer No Comments

Facebook users who turn on https browsing option in their facebook profile will not be able to see facebook apps that are not secure.  More facebook users are going to start using https browsing feature especially when privacy its a growing concern.  It seems facebook is going to actively propmote https after recently Zukerberg’s own facebook profile was hacked.

Many iframe based facebook apps need to be changed to “Secure Canvas URL”  option before they see traffic to their apps dip significantly.  Before you do this though, you need to install an SSL certificate on your web server hosting the app files.  You can purchase SSL certs from providers like godaddy,  verisign or thwate.
