Hi,

I implemented a new DNN Platform website and my system administrator decided to use SSL with F5 VIP. Therefore, I do not need to add certificate under my IIS Server. In addition, I do not need to enable SSL in DNN Security Settings. How that supposed works:

  • The DNN website IIS Server is only running HTTP service on port 80.
  • The client is connecting to the VIP on F5 on port 443 (HTTPS).
  • The VIP on F5 is listening on port 443 (HTTPS), the SSL certificate is install on the F5 VIP.
  • The F5 will forward the request to the server of the IIS website on port 80 unencrypted.
  • Response from the server of the DNN IIS website is encrypted by F5 then send it to the client.

For now, my entire website pages show correctly with https included the DNN Persona Bar options. But, if I’m going to the Edit Mode to edit content of a Html Module or going to the Settings of a module, the popup windows open but showing indefinitely the progress icon. The console of the browser give me the error: “Mixed Content: The page at 'https://my.website.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://my.website.com/Home/ctl/Edit/mid/416?popUp=true'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.”

To resolve, I activated the DNN setting SSL Enable and I switched to "On" the Secure Connection setting of the Home page. If I do that, the browser return me the error "Too Many Redirects" and the page cannot showing.

What I can do? My old DNN Platform website had his own certificate directly under IIS of the website server with port 443 but not this new one.

Thanks for your help!

Just for you know... The new website version is DNN Platform v9.2.2 and the old website was with the version 7.3.4.

My workaround: I updated the “ModuleActions.js” file under “<rootdnn>\admin\Menus\ModuleActions folder”

Line 213: I added “.replace('http://','https://')” to the “action.Url”.

New updated line:

“htmlString += "<a href=\"" + action.Url.replace('http://','https://') + "\"" + (action.NewWindow ? " target=\"_blank\"" : "") + "><img src=\"" + action.Icon + "\" alt=\"" + action.Title + "\"><span>" + action.Title + "</span></a>";”

I don’t like to change the Core but this solution solved my problem with DNN Modal popups.
