The site uses Rich Text Editor(RTE) to create links. If the links are created without explicitly specifying a protocol (e.g. http:// or https://), by default, the links will be treated as relative URLs.
When clicking on the links, they are opened as PeopleSoft pages, resulting in the following error.
