When I go to Login page for this Apple Discussion site, the beginning of address shows: https://idmsa.apple.com/
What does "idmsa" mean? I"m wondering if it took me to a wrong site? (phishing, spam, etc)
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
idmsa is an Apple subdomain. Its just what they call their login validation subdomain within the Apple servers. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Polish website people.
Its fine, and secure. Its an internal thing only.

I Have the samething on my phone
They won't reply here or from Feedback. As my brain started getting closer to old memories I remembered: IDMS stands for Integrated Database Management System. You can read about it at IDMS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I tried and get no further-wonder how to get APPLE to respond to this query (besides FEEDBACK).
Haha, my mind is slower to work too Kappy 😉 ...tks for corrected info, from you and Phil, I'm glad to know it's Apple's real site, and not some brokerage phising problem from Poland 😊
At first your reply Kappy sounded like some unknown person: Internetowy Dom Maklerski S.A. <--Dom Maklerski? S.A.? I mean it appears like it's one guy verifying my personal info that I login with, like a "phishing expedition". The "InternetOWY" sounds really funny..wonder what that name means too?!
Internetowy Dom Maklerski S.A.
Is that a LEGAL site for logging in to Apple Discussions? That's what appears in my addr bar after clicking on LOGIN
Absolutely. The site verifies your ID.
It's Polish.
OK, so I looked up that name and it shows:
(Polish: Internet Brokerage S.A.)
So what does a Polish Internet Brokerage place have to do with logging into USA-based Apple LOGIN site?
I have no idea. That's what i found when I Googled it. Try it yourself.
