Error description

  • After setting host.name in the WP ConfigService, the customer
    is
    seeing a problem when Quickr redirects the user to a URL, the
    protocol is reverted to http rather than https. Some of the
    scenarios where the user is redirected are the following:
    
    - Adding a component
    
    - preview document
    
    - Drag and drop document
    
    - Configure/cancel library portlet
    
    
    This does not occur when the value of host.name is blank.
    Setting host.name is a required configuration to resolve the
    issue.
