Xpages and HTTPS / SSL

Hi,

Afraid another question from me on XPages, may be something basic but I haven’t found the answer yet. I have made an application that in various places has a button that would open a different XPage (which is contained in the same application). The button (under onclick) has a ‘simple action’ set of ‘open page’.

But here’s the problem. If I preview the XPage in the browser (from the Designer client), everything works great (launches http). However, if I log in as an external user would (https), the button seems to fail. When you click the button, the page then becomes blank and doesn’t load the new XPage. Looking at the url it also doesn’t change as it should to the new url, it’s almost as if it gives up halfway.

The only thing that changes when logging in as an external user is that instead of running http, it runs https (SSL) forcing them to login with their internet certificate we provide them with.

Is there anything I need to change on the Xpages/application for it to work with https/SSL? I have signed the application in an Administration client with my ID (I am an administrator and have access to the server the application is running on) and I have also added my ID to ‘Sign or run unrestricted methods and operations:’ in the server document.

If I use a direct url link to the new XPage to load; it works strangely enough, so I didn’t think it was an application access problem when running HTTPS/SSL. Is there an execution access I have overlooked in the server document or some security I need to change on the new XPage itself?

Thanks in advance to anyone who suggests anything. I’ve completely hit a wall on this!

…did you do a full signature to replace/update all design elements? That’s not the default. I don’t see anything obvious wrong with what you’ve done already, but I’m no admin. I simply admin my local dev servers.

Hope this helps…

Hi David, thanks for the suggestion but I’ve already tried it and it hasn’t solved the issue. I appreciate the help regardless though :slight_smile:

The application button works if I make it http and log in by typing in my username, but not with https when I log in with an internet certificate.

If anyone can suggest something else I’m all ears. In the meantime I’m going to keep poking around the server doc as I think it must be something in here I need to set or in the acl of the XPage itself.

Subject: Any luck finding solution?

Hi, I have this same issue and was wondering if you ever found a solution.

My issue is slightly different only in that it’s not consistent for me. Randomly, the xpage won’t load when using the https (SSL) url, but always loads when I use the direct http url. When the page doesn’t load, I get the ‘XSP is undefined’ error and an entirely blank white page, and empty head and body tags appear in the source.

We’re running 8.5.2 FP3 on one server, and 8.5.2 FP1 on another server. The same issue occurs on both.

Thanks for your input and suggestions.
