HOW TO CHECK NORTON VERISIGN SECURITY SEAL IN LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ENVIORNMENT
I was working on a Liferay project. The project was pretty much simple but we faced some issue regarding integration of Norton VeriSign Seal.
If you are providing enterprise level IT solution then you should make sure about the spamming and other hacking programs. You should enable SSL environment. If we use Norton Verisign Security Seal we get total security against online fraud. And users can easily trust the site.
Daily malware scanning and vulnerability testing
ECC and DSA algorithm agility
Improved SSL Tools for certificate checking
Seal-in-search
Express and auto-renewals
Enterprise offering - Certificate Intelligence Center
If you have used NVSS with your portal or site, you would get recognition by users automatically. It helps you to get international visitors.
For an eCommerce portal NVSS says to customer that to do financial transaction with this portal is as safer as with your bank. Means no fraud activity being involved.
You can get the code by clicking here
Once you registered, you will get the code / script to place on your portal
Now time to place that code somewhere on registered domain (please make sure that the domain name and registered domain is the same - I explain why it's necessary)
It is very easy if you are placing code on actual hosted portal. But wait Liferay developer may face problem I have passed through.
I was not sure how to fix this and I failed to get solution online as well.
Later I realize that code provided by the site is having a URL that we had registered with. Suddenly I strike my mind and below is the solution.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://seal.verisign.com/getseal? host_name=domainname.com& size=XS& use_flash=NO& use_transparent=NO& lang=en"> </script>
I found the URL in a code and URL in a browser mismatching. Being a developer you should have idea that we access local instance by hitting localhost:8080.
To show NVSS logo in your local instance - you need to change your local URL to actual one. Means if your registered URL is domainname.com then you need to change the localhost:8080 to domainname.com:8080.
You can do this by changing a line of code in HOST file.
(I am following Windows OS)
Press windows + R (will open a dialog)
Enter “drivers” (will open explorer)
Go to “etc” folder
Open “host” file with notepad++ (or some text editor)
copy "127.0.0.1 localhost" line and paste just next line to it
change “localhost” with your domain name – means “127.0.0.1 domainname.com”
go to browser and paste domainname.com:8080 and hit
Set up a development environment where the domain name matches their production website that is secured by a Symantec SSL certificate.
E.g. If the production website is www.domainname.com, the development environment could be test.domainname.com
Happy Coding :)
