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!

Question about Blackboard CPIP Connector
Hi all
Blackboard is about to upgrade its version for our school from 8.X to 9.1 and Sungard helped us to developed a CPIP connector for BB version 9.
My question is:
We changed the destination of the CPIP link from pcomtest.blackboard.com to pcomstaging.blackboard.com in bb9.properties and nested_tables.xsl but somehow it never works. it keeps asking user for password. Anyone knows why? (Bb also confirmed pickup file is copied)
Please someone help? Thanks!

Customizing "Class Schedule" Display & Functionality
I'm wondering if anyone has customized the look of the Banner Self-Service Class Schedule. (You can see our public Class Schedule here: http://www.laredo.edu/cms/class_schedule/.) One of our deans saw another's school's setup for the class schedule (http://www.sanjac.edu/programs-z), and fell in love with it.
Determining CREATORID from MB_TOPIC
Does anyone know how to derive the correct member name from the CREATORID from MB_TOPICS. I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of hours and haven't been able to crack this. I'm trying to put together a routine to report recent postings on the message board and everything looks fairly easy, but I can't seem to figure this one piece out.
