INTRODUCTION
This article discusses the security considerations to be aware of when your Web slide contains links to non-secure Web pages, and you use the optional Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) service in Microsoft Office Live Meeting.



MORE INFORMATION
A Web slide helps you display a Web page to the attendees in a Live Meeting session. The Web slide that you show to your attendees can have links to Web pages that have a secure Web address or a non-secure Web address. For example, a secure Web address starts with &quot;https://&quot; and a non-secure Web address starts with &quot;http://&quot;. Your Web slide contains only links to Web pages. Attendees use their own connections to view the secure and non-secure Web pages that your Web slide contains.

Live Meeting offers optional SSL service, the highest level of security that is available on the Internet. This supplements the standard level of Web slide content and storage security that is Live Meeting offers. SSL is a technology for providing end-to-end encryption of data. You can have an SSL-secured Live Meeting session for all your meetings and presentations. However, Live Meeting does not have any control on the connections that your attendees use to connect to the secure and non-secure Web pages.

We recommend that the Web slides that you show to your attendees contain only links to Web pages that have a secure Web address to guarantee security to all your attendees.

Note If your Web slides contain links to Web sites that use the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (https://), your attendees must have rights to access the Web pages that you include in your Web slide.
