Our certificate is for "secure.ourdomain.com" how do I connect the dots because currently when I set ssl="Password" when I hit sign in or join I get a "IE cannont display the webpage" error almost as if Im trying to hit a domain that does not exist.

Is your site being access on the "secure.ourdomain.com" hostname, or another one?  CS doesn't support redirecting to another hostname for logging in over SSL.  The SSL setting only allows to enforce a restriction on using https://ourdomain.com instead of http://ourdomain.com.

In order for it to redirect to another hostname, you'd need to edit the login.aspx page in the theme folder yourself.  I'd recommend turning the SSL option off, and then in the login.aspx page, add some logic to redirect to the other hostname, and then redirect back once they're logged in.

Is the secure.ourdomain.com domain the same CS instance?  If so, you'd also need to make sure to not redirect when they're already hitting the page with that hostname.
