Security Warning when using MS IE?

Hi all

We just installed 4.3.0.81 on our test luminis system running Windows 2003 OS.

When we use MS IE to logon to the system (SSL installed), a "Security Warning" message pop up asking the use "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered Securely?" but no other browsers like Mozilla and Chrome.

If the use click "NO", everything shows normally but if some content will be blocked when "YES".

Is there any school successfully solved the issue? Thanks!

Intermittently asking for ID and PIN

Hi,

We have had SSO working with SSB in Luminis for several years now. In the past, we have had an occasional student call and say they are being prompted for their ID and PIN for SSB within Luminis. This always seems to resolve itself by having the student log back out, close the browser and try again.

so long, and thanks for all the fish

Just letting everyone know that I have a new job and will no longer be working with Luminis. I may still be working with uPortal and BB9, so will probably continue to lurk...

Lumdev has been one of the bright spots in my Luminis experience: both the site and meeting lumdev members at conferences. Thanks to everyone for all the help. Hopefully I've given some back as well.

Making user attributes easier to access

Recently I've noticed a need for easier access to a user's attributes.

To me it seems like there are two issues : how to access a user's attributes outside of a JSP page and how to access the user's attributes from another application that doesn't have session (iPerson) access.

The solution that I came up with involves creating cookie values to store the attributes.
This solves both problems : most scripting languages have functions to access cookies and with the proper settings other applications within your institution (domain) should be able to access these values too.
