First and foremost, we have just upgraded the site from 2.14, and started from scratch with a fresh install of 4.7. We're using it as a corporate intranet so before the forum can be viewed a user needs to login. This presents issue number 1:
The Email/Password field is all that is displayed, and placing your cursor in the box in chrome and other browsers yields the following: "This form is not secure. Autofill has been turned off." No problem necessarily, though I would like my folks using this site to be able to save their credentials if they choose, so we just type our credentials in there and click sign-in. This brings us to the next "stop", where a message greets me with:
The information you’re about to submit is not secure
Because this form is being submitted using a connection that’s not secure, your information will be visible to others.
Ok, so an option below is Send Anyway, I do and I am in. For me this is fine, but for other users, I am hearing reports of being returned to the blank sign in page. I can't quite figure it out. It may be Safari related (I have replicated this issue on a 2019 iPad Pro), but with so many of the users logging in via iPhone, tablet or mac, the site not working in Safari isn't an option. Do we need an SSL? If so, is there a way I can register the SSL inside of IPS? Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Let me also add that I did search the board first, so please accept this "new user's" apology if there is a thread on this somewhere here and I am simply describing it with a different language. This post was NOT created out of laziness or an unwillingness to search/exhaust the problem elsewhere.
