I am trying to access secure environmental variables on a remote server by using the document() function. Does that make sense?

I am working with 2 servers. One of the servers authenticates users by certificate. If a user has a certificate and they access a page on the server with https, then a script can access certain variables for that user. I have a perl script that can create some xml for a user.

The other server holds the filemaker documents. I want to put a XSL document on this server that has the following code:

For some reason this won't work, even though it says it will in the CWP guide. I get the following error:

[color:green]The resource https://domain.edu/cgi-bin/rewards/certParams.cgi could not be loaded because of an unexpected error

(MCS-604)

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Moses

Thanks for your reply.

I definitely have valid xml coming out. I tested the xml by putting it in a separate, non-secure xml document and it loaded just fine with document(). When I try the https file, which is a cgi, I get the error message

[color:green]The resource could not be loaded because of an unexpected error

If I take the 's' off of https then the error goes away.

Ah, I see. Of course you have (e.g. the browser) has a certificate, but the server not, because the document() function is executed server-side.

That might result in the error because the .edu server first sends the certificate request, and document() does not know what to do with it.

Could a possible solution be to install a standard certificate on the .edu server?

I see what you mean. Putting a certificate on the server is not a solution because each user has their own individual and unique certificate. Perhaps there is no solution.

Thanks for your help,
