Re: Person/Group Picker Fields do not work in Filler form

sorry for the delay. I asked the network team for the remedy...

I think in very simple terms, the people picker make a service call whenever you click ‘check names’ or ‘bring up the address book’... that call goes to some back-end SP web services but that call should be over HTTPS not HTTP

That error message is really saying you reached a HTTPS endpoint (designed to serve HTTPS requests) but your request is coming in as HTTP.

For us:

My best guess is - it is a MS issue (so maybe something similar to diagram above

I would assume network team have done nothing as well
If it magically fix itself then shouldn’t be issue on the ‘orange’ side but ‘yellow’ side

Thank you for replying, and just to let you know we recently discovered the problem was caused by a security setting on our network.

In browser format, people picker only works for me if Form Options > Web Browser > Show InfoPath commands in Ribbon or toolbar IS CHECKED.

Usually once you've published a form, you don't need to set the URL in the properties of the person / group picker, but you may want to try that. Right click the control in the designer and under SharePoint Server enter the URL for your site - see if that fixes the issue.

Click the Validator/Check Names button or the Directory button... nothing happens. If the form is published as a web browser form the fields work as expected. It is only Filler.

Anyone seen this? I am publishing to SharePoint Online.
