SSL Certificate and loadbalancer (NetScaler)

Hi there

We have a solution behind a Citrix NetScaler. The netscaler handles the SSL certificate (and loadbalancing in the future). This means that when you access the site you see it as a HTTPS site. However, since the solution itself is behind the netscaler, it does'nt "know" that it is a HTTPS site. This gives us a ton of issues. In the backend every relative path will cause console errors with mixed content like:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://website.co.uk/Admin/default.aspx' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://mypage.dynamicweb-cms.com/'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
This is also the case for fetching the stylesheet for the editor and so on...

When using DW modules like forms, this is the same case, as the "form head" will provide a HTTP path rather than a HTTPS path.

As a work around we have create a "base href" field in the website items so we can specify the correct path to each site, but that doesn't help backend much.

Is there any way to tell DW that "Hey, this site is actually a HTTPS site, even though you don't think so..." ?


Hope you can help

Regards, Rune

Hi Rune

Currently not - but we have a task to change all of them to protocal agnostic versions (i.e. <linkr href="://have.a.nice-weekend.com/drink/beer.css">)

That would make it work in all scenarios.

Probably 9.2.something - no firm plans yet...
