Abstract
Methods and systems for managing secure communications are provided. An external client establishes secure communications with a secure site. During the secure session, the external client attempts to access potentially insecure references. These potentially insecure references are inspected before being made available to the external client. In some instances, the potentially insecure references are translated into secure references, which suppress normally occurring security warning messages that are issued to the external client. In other instances, the potentially insecure references are processed by a proxy on behalf of the external client and appear to the external client to occur within the secure session.
