    <p>I was under the impression that if a user attempted to visit a website that had been secured with an SSL certificate, but did not use HTTPS and instead used plain HTTP in the address box, a 403;4 error would be generated, and that an errormessage something like this would be presented:</p> <p>"This page must be viewed over a secure channel" "The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)."</p> <p>But that's not happening on our website. You can use <a href="http://secure.oursite.com" rel="nofollow">http://secure.oursite.com</a> or <a href="https://secure.oursite.com" rel="nofollow">https://secure.oursite.com</a> and both work fine.</p> <p>The company that issued the SSL certificate says our certificate checks out OK in their certificate checking tool and that it's "chaining properly" and that this is an IIS configuration issue.</p> <p>Does this SSL over HTTP error checking have to be explicitly enabled? </p> <p>I was planning on creating a custom error for the 403;4 condition, pointing to a file, which redirects to <a href="https://secure.oursite.com" rel="nofollow">https://secure.oursite.com</a>. But the error condition is not being trapped by IIS.</p> <p>EDIT: I've stopped and restarted the server. Not solved.</p> <p>Thanks</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
