Author Redirect to wrong protocol?
Norman Ackroyd

Ok, I'm at a total loss here. I've got an IHS web server that is
protected by Siteminder. The first time you attempt to get a
restricted page, it redirects you to the login page. Below are the
exact headers being sent back by the web server (as captured by Web
Detective):

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: IBM HTTP Server/V5R3M0
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2004 20:16:17 GMT
Location: https://www.mysite.com/siteminderag...mysite.com/.... but the browser's next request is for
http://www.mystite.com/.... Both IE and Mozilla behave the same way
here (although wget works fine and goes after https next).

Can anyone see anything wrong with the headers above that would cause
the redirect to use the wrong protocol???

Norman,

Hopefully you've solved this since... but in case you haven't - check
to make sure that your Forms Authentication Scheme in SiteMinder is
directed to the SSL port. If you set it up originally under non-SSL,
you may have forgotten to change it?

Good luck,
Rob
