Blank Cognos Viewer in Internet Explorer when using SSL

Troubleshooting


Problem

Running a report returns a blank (white page) or freezes on "Your report is running" page, when using Internet Explorer. Firefox displays a Cognos error message. This only happens when the gateway uses SSL (HTTPS)

Symptom

IE throws the following error message in the Developer Tools console:
"SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by (null)"

No report is displayed in IE but Firefox shows a page with a Cognos error
