Probably a problem with your certificates.
Possible reasons:
· Root certificate not trusted by browser,
· certificate chain incomplete (should be provided by the server,
   but could likewise be installed in the browser -- only with more
   trouble for the user),
· hostname in URL does not match hostname in certificate.
Cf. <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html>.

Good luck,
