Get VF pages to be served from the http://force.com and not salesforce.com

I  have been trying to install a third party application which will allow us to integrate Salesforce to Dropbox. ( fileIT - Dropbox for Salesforce )

Some functionality is not working because the visualforce pages are coming from Salesforce.com & not Force.com. (See below for the full answer from the application provider)

Is it possible to turn off the permission which enables VF pages to be served from the http://salesforce.com domain. ??
regards

Hi Shay,

I have just checked and I can see you are doing everything correctly.

The problem, and I have only seen it once before , is that the visualforce pages are coming from Salesforce.com not Force.com it is a known bug.

You’ll need to raise a case with Salesforce and ask them to turn this permission off – Enables VF pages to be served from the http://salesforce.com domain.

We are not sure why it is switched on and its worth checking it will not impact on anything else you have.

Really sorry its not better news but its out of our control.

Thanks

Shay,

AFAIK changing this permission should be considered definitely as the last resort as this might have security risk.
Are you not able to install the app completely or are specific components of the app not working?

Sonam,

Why is this a security issue? Isn't that the default behavior anyways?
