Hello Embarcadero!

Who is secure.eloqua.com?
While I try to access the forms sub-domain via https I get an error.

[Update: Sorry, my automatic http to https redirector was active for testing. The original link points to the http site - not https; but I'm still curious why there is a wrong certificate]

    forms.embarcadero.com points to a different server than www.embarcadero.com. It points to Oracle Eloqua. So Embarcadero probably uses the Oracle Eloqua for forms. See for creating forms: http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCAA/Help/Forms/Tasks/CreatingForms.htm

    Oops, the http to https redirector was active (see my update in post)

    Embarcadero points the form.* to a different domain where they don't have control over the certificate. When using http you don't see that but when using https you'll get a warning. They can't put a certificate on forms.embarcadero.com because it's essentially a site from Oracle Eloqua where the forms are hosted. They could have put a normal redirect so you see Eloqua in the URL but I guess they don't feel it's that important (and mainly use just http). Why such a company doesn't host these forms themselves is beyond me.

    Rik van Kekem because it's a lot of work, especially if you don't have any specialists in that field.

    It still fails at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=forms.embarcadero.com and should be fixed: since 2012, more and more people use tools like HTTPS Everywhere that just force https. Equally important: if an endpoint serves both http and https for a domain, the certificates must be correct for the domains being serviced. Should not be too much of a problem getting that arranged for a USD 2K+/month product. dropbox.com - Screenshot 2018-03-11 11.19.25.png
