I am working on a site that is completely https.

For every instance of the DMX module on a page I get a mixed mode warning message.  Is this something that can be fixed through a setting?

Thank You,

Stuart

There's no setting, no. Https research and support has been pushed back to get all WebDAV issues ironed out.

Hello Stuart,

I have multiple sites that are 100% SSL, some with DMX 3 and 2 with DMX 4 without this problem. However, I am also using an SSL redirection product rather than simply requiring SSL at the IIS web site level, which might be different than what you are doing.

For reference, I am using SSLRedirect by Sanibel Logic.

No.

I'm also running a secure site and would like to see mixed-mode warning message issues resolved.

Has there been an update on regarding this? If it hasn't been resolved to you have an idea as to when?

Currently there are no mixed mode issues we're aware of. All content comes through the same channel. If you see any contact us through email so we can verify which calls are going outside shtml and if they can be resolved.

I don't think that's true Peter. This is in the 'view source' when I'm on a secure page with a DMX module:

'http://translations.bring...mp;Version=05.03.02'

Hello Chris, Web Team, et al,

I have been running DMX exclusively on several sites that are generally "fully" SSL encrypted for many years and do not experience a mixed mode warning with DMX. Although, I have experienced problems with other modules.

On my business site, currently DNN v5.5.1 with DMX 05.03.02, I still have **no** issue. If I view the source of the page where I have my main DMX module, I too can find:

[17,'http://translations.bring...sion=05.03.02'],

But no mixed mode messages. If I did, I would be complaining as well.

It turns out, this is actually part of the menu system of DMX. If you go to Admin|Languages, you will be taken to the above URL on Peter's site, to download a language pack.

Now I suspect this means there is a difference is how my site is configured for SSL.

I found early on sometimes there are modules or pages that I want to deliver that I just can't encrypt because of mixed mode issues due to references to external "http" URLs. If the content on those pages do not really need encryption, I can turn it off selectively.

If you force encryption at the IIS web site level, you clearly have no control, so I abandoned that long ago. I have never used the DNN SSL encryption switch on pages, but I suspect it is inflexible as well.

To overcome many obstacles, I installed a product called "SSL Redirect" from Sanibellogic. With it, I can configure it via rules to first, "encrypt the entire site", then create exclusions for specific URLs or pages. I only use it's basic capabilities, but it has sophisticated rules that can be applied.

In this manner, if a user hits my site with http://www.myhomepage.com, it will automatically be redirected to https://www.myhomepage.com.

Then, if the users click a link for a page that I need to be unecrypted (to avoid mixed mode), it will seamlessly transistion the url back to http only for that page. Back and forth as needed.

Perhaps the use of such a provider would help with your issues.

If you want to see it in action, go to http://www.silverbullettech.com, which will then change to https://

Then click on the VMware menu link, which displays a page on which I had to remove https in order to avoid mixed mode messages. The content comes from an external source, so I really don't care if it is in plain text.

Rob

Just to be clear, my DMX page and module are fully SSL encrypted, I am not excluding that page.

Hi Chris,

That link you show is a link to take you to Bring2mind to see available packs. AFAIK mixed mode messages show up when you have an embedded image and the browser begins downloading this and notices the embedded image is not https. But the link is just a link. The browser should not be concerned by this or any external link will throw an error.

Peter

Thanks for the comprehensive info Rob!
