Site Preview only works with https ?

Hi everyone,

Got a strange issue which I've never seen and haven't been able to find any info on.

When clicking on the site preview button in Plesk we get the error "You are not authorized to view this page" . Its the same error for every site.

But when I tired https:// it works. Where would I be able to change the site preview function in Plesk 9.5 to not use a secure connection?

Thanks
 
I tired resetting the pass in IIS and the FTP pass too on a test domain and that didn't work. IIS directory security settings are also all correct on all domains.

But I dont beleive the issue to be with passwords or IIS directory security settings as the site preview does work, its just only works with HTTPS:// which is we don't want. So clicking the sitepreview icon in Plesk it automaitclly sends you to http:// which is when clients see the error. All of our other servers dont have this issue.
