Since you are using iframes to navigate portions of your own site, it 
will ordinarily not pose a threat, but there might be possible users 
that have blocked iframes in their browsers. Does the browser show any 
warnings if a page containing iframes is being loaded? If so, that might 
be a cause of concern for users as well, even if everything on the site 
is legitimate and risk-free.

Any particular reason for using iframes in your site? We had used 
iframes to build an intranet site in my college, where we were using 
JSP/Servlets. However as we got more comfortable with JSP/Servlets, we 
ended up replacing all iframes with JSP code.

See if you can work around the problem.

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
