Unsecure redirect warning in IE for servlet under Domino

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I’m getting a real annoying warning from IE that I’d love to get rid of.

I have a Domino app with SSL enabled, that parses a text file (in LotusScript) and generates an HTML form by "print"ing to the browser. The forms post action is designed to point to a servlet running under the Domino servlet mgr.

Whenever the form is posted IE gives a warning that the data is being redirected to a non secure site. There is a check box under InternetOptions/Advanced to not give this warning but it has no effect. Also adding the site to the trusted zone has no effect.

Since both the URL’s for the db and the servlet are https how does IE come to the conclusion that the data is going to a non secure site? And more importantly, how do I tell IE to ignore this?

Thanks for any help.

I assume that the IE Advanced option setting you are talking about is “Warn if forms submittal is being redirected”? I am not surprised that this would not work, since you appear not to be doing a re-direction.

Not we need to ask some questions to determine what it is really doing:

  1. Is the URL https://www.host.net/servlet/cico local to your organisation (network) or is it an internet URL?

  2. When IE gives the message is IE on the Internet or the Local Intranet?

  3. On the InternetOptions/Security tab have you added https://www.host.net to the “Sites” on both the “Local Intranet” and the “Trusted Sites”?

  4. What SSL certificate domain is registered in your Certificate database in your IE browser? Maybe you haven’t registered it at all?
