Moe Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited March 2, 2006 by Guest
Martin Brändle Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 When you load that link in a browser, you get an error message ... BTW: The returned content must be in XML
Moe Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 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.
Martin Brändle Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 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?
Moe Posted March 6, 2006 Author Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) 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, Moses Edited March 6, 2006 by Guest
