We are having a small problem with a couple of reports we developed for a
client website.
On two of the reports, sometimes (most of the time) we receive a warning
message before the output of the report is presented in the browser. The
warning message says "This page contains both secure and non-secure items.
Do you want to display the non-secure items Yes, No, Cancel)".
The site was developed using ASP.NET, VB.NET, and Crystal Reports which
displays the report output using a PDF plug-in in the browser. In general,
the VB.NET code creates a data-set containing the report data. Once the
data-set is created, Crystal reports is called and the data-set is passed
into Crystal. The report output is then displayed as a PDF in the browser.
A similar approach is used for all seven reports on the site. However, only
two of these reports are giving us this problem. We looked through
everything and it seems that all content being displayed is secure. Also, it
seems that a consistent approach is used for all seven reports. One
observation that could be contributing to the problem is: Crystal has the
ability to display a page to the user with text on it while the report is
being created. We are using this page to let user's know that the report may
take a few minutes to run before the output is displayed. It seems that
Crystal will continue to display this page over and over as it checks to see
if the report is complete. The reports that are giving us a problem run very
fast. It seems that we get this browser security warning possibly when the
report is already complete before the informational page is displayed. So,
in this case, we get the browser security warning message, we say it is o.k.
to display, then we immediately see the output of the report never seeing
the informational page.
Any ideas of what to look at or a way to trace the problem would be greatly appreciated, as we are currently dumbfounded with this problem.
Thanks!
