Hi DNN Community,

I ran into a strange issue. Let me give you a little bit of a back story.

We have 2 sites. One site (example.com) is a content website. The second site (my.example.com) is a DNN site used for handing some member services. Both sites work in tandem. The login and user account is handled on the my.example.com.

The issue is that example.com site is not secured and doesn't have an SSL certificate. The my.example.com is secured with SSL certificate.

When I click a button on example.com, it redirects to the my.example.com login page and adds a return url back to the originating page. However, since the login page is secured in DNN, DNN 8 seems to be changing the return url from http:// to https://.

Is this something that can be disabled? Is this built in functionality? I can't find any references to this on Google.

If it's intended, I would just like to understand what is the reason behind it. I'm suspecting it has to do with security?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
