Why does the Green Bar not appear for Google Chrome?

Problem
When accessing a secure site with a Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate, the green bar and the company name does not display to the right of the lock icon in the Google Chrome address bar.

Resolution
- Click the Tools menu
- Select Options
- Click the Under the Hood tab
- Select the "Check for server certificate revocation" checkbox
- Click Close

If the green bar or the organization's name is still not displayed, it may be due to one of the following conditions:

- The website might not use an EV-SSL certificate. EV certificates provide extra assurance as to the identity of the website, but not all websites using SSL use EV-SSL certificates.
- The website might contain security errors, such as mixed content or expired certificates.
