Upgraded Contrib modules & Drupal to 7.14 now SSL doesn't turn green
I am not sure if it would cause your problem, but Secure Pages requires patches to core.  The two you need are listed on the main project page.  I use 961508-23-32-D7 instead of 961508-21.  I am not 100% sure which version of 471970 I am using (that is just for unit tests, anyway).  Both apply to 7.14, but with some fuzz.
