Mixed content errors when trying to "view data" in BIP data model

Adam Wickes

Hi all,

I have been testing our new 12c installation and have come across an error when either clicking "view data" in a data model or clicking "view report" in a BIP report object.
Both functions work fine if i login to servername:port/xmlpserver using admin privs however if I use the front end "https://reporting.domainname.com.au/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard", I get the following error (when clicking "View Data"):

"Mixed Content: The page at 'https://reporting.domainname.com.au/analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=edit&itemType=.xdm&bipPath=%2FExternal%2FBoard%20Reports%2FExcess%20Reporting%2Freport1%2Freport1_Data_Model.xdm&path=%2Fshared%2FExternal%2FBoard%20Reports%2FExcess%20Reporting%2Freport1%2Freport1_Data_Model.xdm' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://x.x.x.x:4443/xmlpserver/dmloading.jsp?_xdo=%2FExternal%2FBoard+Reports%2FExcess+Reporting%2Freport1%2Freport1_Data_Model.xdm&_id=1105cdaa-b0a2-4186-b1dc-bd807c107747&_sTkn=8979ba6716f34b1905b&_dFlag=null&_genstatus='. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS."

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this issue?

Thanks,

Is your 12c install on https://reporting... or do you have a proxy in front to give you access to it via HTTPS + domain name and terminating SSL at the proxy level and send requests back to HTTP + weird/not-nice servername ?

Reverse proxy has SSL as does the OHS that sits in front of application server.
The application server does NOT have SSL configured.
This is in line with our existing 11g installation which works fine but i'm wondering if Oracle has changed something with the way 12c works.

You can see the end point it's attempting to retrieve data from is using secure port 4443 but is only over http instead of https.

Note: the x.x.x.x is an F5 VIP node that sends traffic to our OHS box.

Thanks Gianni,

Ended up fixing this issue by setting weblogic plugin to "yes" in the weblogic console bi_cluster settings.
Not sure how this fixed it but I'm not complaining.
