mixed active content

Support - Assistance technique

Hi all,

We installed DHIS2 v2.15 on a Red Hat server,
it is all fine apart from the visualizer, the maps and pivot table modules,
for which I get a blank page.

Here is the browser’s console outputs (Firefox):

Blocked loading mixed active content “http://jbox.tph.unibas.ch/dhis-1.15-maybe/api/i18n?package=org.hisp.dhis.visualizer”

So I’ve read about mixed active contents,
but I’d appreciate if anyone had an idea of where and how to solve this,
i.e. how do I turn those http requests into https request.

Thanks for your help

Alex

Hi Alex,

its hard to say, but DHIS believes you are serving the system on http instead of https, see here:

https://jbox.tph.unibas.ch/dhis-1.15-maybe/api/system/info

Check your tomcat config and see if you have

scheme=“https”

on the http connector.

Hi Lars,

Thanks for your prompt response.
Indeed, I checked with the server admin, here is the response:

"Tomcat serves the content unencrypted (http) over port 8080. On ports 80
(http) and 443 (https) runs an Apache HTTP web server which acts as a
redirecting proxy:

80 -> 443
443 -> 8080

We do this to enable both non-Tomcat content (HTML, PHP, CGI...) and
Tomcat content to be available on port 443."

So, just to confirm, once we update our server to Java 7 and DHIS2 to
version 2.18, I would have the same issue, correct?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi there,

ideally you should serve everything over SSL and set scheme=“https” on the Tomcat http connector. That will make DHIS understand that its running on HTTPS.

As far as I can remember we have improved how this is detected in later versions so updating to 2.18 could help.

regards,

Lars
