Https load balancer: "not fully secured" and nog JS

Google Cloud Compute Infrastructure
1

Hello All,

for a local school I’m setting up a new website on GCP.

These peope use CMS Made Simple ( https://www.cmsmadesimple.org/ ) I had no previous experience with that - only with Wordpress.

After setting this up I discovered that CMS Made simple does not use Apache, so I could not use Letsencypt. So I 've set up an https load balancer. This works, I can reach the site but I am left with two issues:

  • The “lock” next to the url says ( translated from Dutch ) : Connection to site not fully secured.What I have done to troubleshoot is going in load balancer secion to details; the certificate, which is a Google managed cert, says status: active and in use by lbcmsmadesimple-target-proxy

The domain name is obtained via Google Workspace so I added a record in domains.google.com that points to the ip address of the frontend of the load balancer. I have not added anything in Cloud DNS. The dig commands gives the correct ip address.

The other issue I’m facing is that the site looks completely diferent, I guess the load balancer does nog allow javacript or something like that.

Thanks in advance for any help with these issues.

Greeting, James

Hello,

I wanted to report that I have solved both options myself by editing a line in config.php in CMSMadeSimple.The site is now fully secured and I can see all the content.
