Hi

I have inherited the responsibility of managing a snitz forum on a secure site (HTTPS).

Everything works fine apart from the link in the email subscriptions.

For example, email has link - You can view the posting at https://aaa.bbb.ccc/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=73. When I click this link it changes from a https to http and then I get the standard IIS 403;4 error - must be viewed over a secure connection.

I dont believe this is a configuration problem on my server as it launches the link as https and quickly changes to http, can anyone tell me if there is a function in snitz which may be causing this?

Regards,

ruirib

The link was emailed correctly, right? When does it change from https to http?

yeh, if i look in the source of the email i can see the link is coded correctly, i.e. <a href="https://....">

heres what happens:

click the link
ie opens it as http://

I have tried it on different pc's to rule out any problems with my laptop.

weird...!

update to that...

click the link
prompts for username and password (users domain account)
once i click ok to login it then changes to http

so the fact that it prompts me for username and password must mean it is orginally hitting it on https otherwise it would error straight away.

So I'd say the problem does not lie with Snitz, since Snitz role ends up when the email is sent. After that is all about your server, which asks for login when someone requests a protected page, but then seems unable to redirect to the desired page, once login is done.
