I have set up a couple of virtual directories on an intranet server. My
question is if these virtual directories are secure using SSL.

These virtual directories are map to a users home directory on a network
server (\\server\fileshare). Webdav is enabled. I also have installed an
SSL certificate on the intranet server and have required ssl and 128 bit
encryption turned on. Users are required to input a user name and password
using basic authentication to get to the intranet site. When the user gets
to the home page it is encrypted (the lock appears in the lower right hand
of the browser). I have enabled require 128 bit encryption and ssl on each
of the virtual directories. However, when a users clicks on the link to
her/his home directory they receive a message "You are about the leave a
secure internet connection..." When the virtual directory opens as a web
folder there is also no lock in the lower right hand corner of the browser
window. Are these encrypted using SSL or not? Any assistance would be
appreciated.
