How do I know SSL is working?

I recently instaled a wildcard certificate on our webserver that also has moodle running on it.  I set up the virtual hosts and on the other virtual hosts on the server I see the lock that shows the certificate is working.  However, in moodle I don't see the lock and in IE if I hit the site it warns me that not all content is secure and asks me of I want to display non secure content. 

In moodle I have the HTTPS auth turned on in security->http. 

On the web I found another moodle site announcing they have secure logins turned on so I clicked on the link in their message and saw that their site was doing the same thing mine was.  Is this normal operation of moodle?  How do I know if SSL is working properly?  Will the lock appear on the site?

TIA!

Two possibilities:

- try visiting https://your.site/

- if you server is Linux, try "nmap localhost", otherwise from any other Linux machine on the Internet try "nmap your.ip.address". Obviously the programm nmap must be intalled in the machine. If not follow the instructions in the documentation for your Linux distribution.
