ie 7 and 5.2 messenger express
We have an issue with the new Internet Explorer 7 not showing the left frame under the options tab in messenger express.Tried changing all of the security settings in IE, but it still gives a "security" error in a couple of lines.
Here is the version that we are using:
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built Nov 18 2005)
libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built 10:35:58, Nov 18 2005)
SunOS paul 5.8 Generic_108528-25 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
Is this related to the security vulnerability that was found in this version?
Anyone else seeing this?

What you're seeing is that IE 7 does things differently than IE6. Messaging 5.2 does not support IE7, and likely will not be changed to do so.
Messaging 6.2 (or later) will be altered to support it, but since 5.2 was released long before IE7 was, and is on the EOSL route, it's very unlikely that resources will be expended to support this new browser.
It will likely have nothing to do with the security issue.

Hi,
With regards to this bug I suggest that you log a support call.
As Jay noted, formal support for IE 7.0 is very unlikely with iMS5.2. Messaging 6.2 (messenger express) doesn't have the problem you describe. If the problem in question (option tab not showing) requires only a minor fix (and my spider senses tell me that it does) then you would need to log a call anyway to get the latest hotfix which resolves the issue.
More customers reporting an issue == higher chance of it getting fixed.
Regards,
Shane.

Got a work around from Sun. Simple fix, and works great. Here it is:
*** frame.html Mon Nov 6 09:48:30 2006
frame.html.bakWed Oct 25 10:26:01 2006
***************
*** 37,43 ****
s = document.domain
! if (IE >= 4 && IE < 7 && (i = s.indexOf('.') + 1) != 0 && a=='false') {
s = s.substring(i, s.length)
if (s.indexOf('.') != -1)
document.domain = s
37,43 -
s = document.domain
! if (IE >= 4 && (i = s.indexOf('.') + 1) != 0 && a=='false') {
s = s.substring(i, s.length)
if (s.indexOf('.') != -1)
document.domain = s

The workaround was provided by Sun. A patch which has the workaround integrated is available, but you have to have a support-contract -- there is no freely available patch from the Sun web-site.
If you have a support contract, I suggest that you log a support case and request the latest iMS5.2 hotfix (2.14), the bug you need to have fixed is : 6486379

Shane.
