Issue with IE security on page opened from javascript

Question

I have a Java web application running in JBOSS with Tomcat with two web applications (contexts) running on it.

A button press on one of the applications opens runs a javascript command to open a new window with a page from the other.

The problem I seem to be having is that this raises a security alert in IE. with the following message:

I can't really ask my customer to add an exception to "http://" what are the likely causes for it not picking up the site?

The browser is correctly pointed at the full url for the page (Ie www.something.net:8080/blah/somepage.jsp) the browser is IE7 with enhanced security running on windows 2003.

Answer 1

You need to uninstall "Explorer Enhanced Security", which is on by default in Windows Servers, before IE will act like a normal browser. :)

Workstations shouldn't get this problem.
