Hello,

I applied a trial SSL certificate in out staging environment. However,
the CommerceApplication.BuildUrl doesnt seem to generate the https
link for an image.

These are the steps I did.

1) Installed trial SSL (from verisign) on the IIS webserver.
2) Modified CommerceServer Manager -> Commerce Sites -> Retail2002 ->
Applications -> HOST/Retail2002 -> Properties. Checked 'Enable HTTPs'
and reset IIS.

There is a link for the Login page in the home page whose URL is
generated as :

hli_topbarsignin.NavigateUrl =
CommerceApplication.BuildUrl("Login.aspx", returnURL, true)

Since the third param is set as TRUE, I assume the url generated
should be https://<url> but it is still showing http://<url>.

Any idea what should be checked to resolve this ?

The staging env is as follows :
2 Webservers load balanced using NLB.
1 SQL server.
OS = Windows 2003
Commerce Server 2002 + SP2

I also checked the values of f_EnableHTTPS property in the MSCS Admin
database and it is set to 1.

Thanks
Sabari.

ok, i narrowed down the problem to a single line in Application.cs.

There is a method called IsHttpsEnabled and there is statement

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CommerceApplication.HttpsEnabled = (int)
CommerceApplication.ApplicationResources("f_EnableHTTPS");
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is this line which is failing. The exception message I get is :

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object. at Microsoft.CommerceServer.Site.Components.CommerceApplicatio
n.get_IsHttpsEnabled()

I've no clue how CommerceApplication.ApplicationResources() works. I
dont think the source code for that is available but if I'm wrong,
please correct me. I verified the MSCS_Admin tables and the value of
f_EnableHTTPS is 1 in both ResourceProps and ExtendedProps table.

Does anyone know why this function is failing ? Any pointers/help is
really appreciated.

Thanks
Sabari.
