I have a programmatic question.
I’ve managed to frontend DWA with a Cisco Content Switch. I’ve got the content switch frontending the SSL conversation.
Everything is working fine.
BUT… When a user connects to the server they are directed to HTTPS. They get the standard login screen that is part of the WebmailRedirect database. When the click the “Login” button, they get a yes/no dialog about non-secure content. Selecting yes, directs them to their email. For the most part I’m ok with that.
BUT someone will eventually call in because they’re getting the prompt. In Firefox it doesn’t come up. In IE, I’ve found that you can adjust security settings to eliminate the prompt - most of the time.
I’ve checked the code behind the webmailredirect login screen and can’t find anyway of modify the “Login” button. If you mouse over it, it appears that the button only references /names.nsf?login. In my mind that should pickup the HTTPS://webmail.acme.com/.
Putting a sniffer on the PC that’s accessing DWA, shows that nothing is actually being sent in the clear. My question is mainly to see if I can get rid of the prompt to make it one less thing that endusers can have questions about or mistakenly answer no to.
Thanks in advance for any help.
