Since you are on IIS you could use Server Side ASP to do the re-direction. Then it wouldn't matter what browser was used.

This is not a problem because the URLs users go to on the BlackBerry are constructed from workflow, so they never manually type the address anyway. Thank you.

It sounds as if you can't guarantee that all users will come through a specific or even limited set of entry points. The solution in the article uses customized web server error pages to redirect - not a bad idea if you can get it to work. Try customizing the error page for the 403 error itself. I take it you saw some of the tweaks/settings changes needed to make it work further down in the comments. -Brian META tag redirect page example: <html><head> <title>Remedy on the Schweb</title> <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0;URL=https://hostname/arsys/home";> </head> <body> If you are not automatically redirected, go to <a href="https://hostname/arsys/home";>/arsys/home</a><br> </body> </html> -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Heider, Stephen Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: OT: Redirect http to https We are about to implement SSL for Mid-Tier. I would like to have all http:// URLs entered to be redirected to https:// automatically, without forcing users to type in https://. I have searched for redirect scripts and tried a couple, but I still receive the "You are not authorized to view this page" error 403 page when going to an http:// address. I tried the 2 examples from this thread: http://blog.opsan.com/archive/2005/04/17/395.aspx. I must have missed some setting. I don't believe it is ARS-specific because I get the same error with a simple web page, for example: <html> <head> </head> <body> test </body> </html> ARS 6.3 Mid-Tier 6.3 Windows Server 2003 IIS 6 (anonymous access disabled, Integrated Windows Authentication enabled, Require Secure Channel (SSL) enabled, Allow ASP pages enabled) Thanks.
