HTTP and HTTPS

[JózsefKi]

Hello,

please explain why Adobe Target would need a mixture of securely transmitted web page (HTTPS), and insecurely (HTTP) content within the same?

Reference: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target/using/experiences/vec/troubleshoot-composer/mixed-...

This software has a special editor (WYSIWYG - Visual experience composer) where the desired page is loaded in the first step to a target campaign setup. This module is neccesary to customized web site content for marketing colleagues. According to the Adobe video guidelines the reason is that „Insecure content allowed” options is prohibited in the browser by default. But our IT security team concerns about to allow this function in company. I seek an reassuring answer to them.

Thank you for answers in advance.

BR,

 KJ

@JózsefKi it’s important to be aware that it isn’t Target on the site that requires this. It is when you’re configuring activities using the Visual Experience Composer in the Target UI that you’ll have to enable it in your browser for the Target domain in order for Target to successfully load your website. 

There’s no need to involve IT in order to enable mix content, as this is an action you/end-user performs on their local browser.
