Yes, I typed Redmine instead of Firefox. Sorry about that, sincerely. I cannot replicate the problem on either Firefox or Chrome, so I'll try to get them to send you screenshots.

I will ask them all the other questions and will report back.

Here are the replies:

-The problem is not with the CUNY e-mail system, it’s with the different browsers. They issue a warning the first time someone tries to connect to Enclave.

-The link to Enclave is in the Commons domain at the Graduate Center. The magazine is uploaded by the designer directly into it.

-The website domain is www.enclave.commons.gc.cuny.edu

-The first time you try to connect to it, the browsers don’t recognize the link and issue a warning. However, if you by pass it and go to the domain, it will be recognized as safe next time. For instance, in my college computer I can access Enclave directly on Google and Google Chrome because I used it before, but not in Mozilla because I never used it. I tried today for the first time, and I got the following warning: Your connection is not secure

The owner of www.enclave.commons.gc.cuny.edu has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. Learn more… Report errors like this to help Mozilla identify and block malicious sites. Once I disregarded the warning I was able to connect to Enclave, and I no longer have this problem with Mozilla.

-The warning is issued by all browsers the first time someone connects to the Enclave link.

Thank you for the additional details, Marilyn!

The problem is the URL http://www.enclave.commons.gc.cuny.edu/. The www is breaking things. Our SSL certificate covers .commons.gc.cuny.edu, not *..commons.gc.cuny.edu.

The first thing I'd suggest is for the reporters to ensure that they're not using that URL anywhere in their promotional materials, emails, files generated by designers, website copy, etc. The correct URL is https://enclave.commons.gc.cuny.edu.

Second, if the incorrect address is being generated anywhere in the Commons platform itself - in site navigation, for example - please let me know the details. I'm unaware of anyplace where this could happen, but if it does, it may be something I can address.

Hi Boone -- is there a way to redirect all http://www.* requests to https://*?

We already do that. But the browser error described here happens before the request even reaches WordPress. It's during the certificate verification process.

Looks like this solved it. Thanks!
