Good afternoon everyone,

 I am using DNN on a site that only accepts https requests. However DNN always prepends any administrative task links with http instead of https, thus casing a security warning. For instance when I am in Edit view I can click Edit page >> Page settings but this produces a mixed content warning to which I must reply with "show all content" then click Edit page >> page settings again before I can edit any page. This becomes very annoying when doing simple tasks like editing HTML modules on a page or configuring any kind of setting.

I never told DNN this was an HTTPS site (or that it was HTTP for that matter) but it assumes http and this causes a problem. Where can I configure this setting to always prepend the admin task links with HTTPS?

 

I guess I have not. I don't have Secure settings under host/host settings

I have version 7.03.04.

I have found the problem. The site is behind a firewall and though the request is" https"  HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection returns false because of the way the request is handled by the firewall and server. Thus DNN.Globals AddHTTP function writes the URLs to the page as http, thus confusing the browsers.

I have handled it with a crude hack by modifying the OnPreRender function in ModuleActions.ascx.cs file to include the code below within the foreach action statement..

 if (action.Url.ToLower().Contains(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias))
                                        {

                                            action.Url = action.Url.Replace("http://", "https://");
                                        }
