RE: HELP: Removed local SSL cert from SPApp
Lordy. Finally got this all sorted. The content source URLs needed to be changed to HTTP for site content, and SPS3S for people results. Weird but working. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Mr Culmsee. :) From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Friday, 23 September 2011 12:58 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: HELP: Removed local SSL cert from SPApp We managed to resolve this problem by modifying the host file on the search server for the affected host names.
