Subject: Browser problem, firewall is being blamed...
To All,
Ok, I know this is not about a
firewall, but folks (clueless...) around here
are
blaming the firewall and I can't come up with the technical reason why
it's not my firewalls problem.
Here's the problem - Sometimes, (and I mean not often, with no
apparent
recurring theme) in IE 5.x browsers, when
folks bring up our logon page
(which is a frames page)
in SSL, they'll get a message asking them if they
want
to display both secure and non-secure items on the same page. If
they
click yes, everything runs merrily along and the
'lock' displays the page is
secure. Remember
this hardly happens.
My theory - I know my firewall (phoenix appliance running on
linux) is not
the culprit. My theory is that an
'interruption in the transmission, (i.e.
a dropped
packet) occurs either at the browser, connection to internet, or
where ever the packets happen to be flowing from/to causing
the browser to
think that a certain item on the page
(picture,etc..) is a 'non-secure'
item.
Question to everyone - does anyone out there have a clue as to
what the
problem might be? Or where I can go to
research it? I've already looked in
some obvious
places (SSL, browser security, MS knowledgebase etc...).
Please help me come up the 'truth' about what's going on.
Thanks for the help,
Michael
Sorbera
