SSL Bridging problem, timeout - 13.Mar.2007 1:09:59 PM

Hey,

I'm having a frustrating problem with one of our websites. We have an IIS 6.0 server that hosts 2 websites, one of which has an SSL component when a user logs in (the main site is not SSL). I have successfully setup ISA 2006 to do SSL bridging with our OWA server which runs on another server, but with this particular web server I am having some serious difficulties.

I've setup 2 listeners for this server, one is HTTP and one is HTTPS. The HTTPS listener is assigned a rule on the ISA that will check incoming requests on a particular IP address (which it has a certificate assigned to). This listener then bridges the connection over to the server via internal SSL certificates on the web server.

The second listener is in 2 rules after that, each for a separate HTTP site. One of those sites is the HTTP portion of the HTTPS site that the SSL listener above is for (clear as mud?).

If I watch the monitor log when I have this in place, it is flooded with requests when I try to access the SSL site. It just goes into an endless loop or something. Firefox says that the request is being forwarded in a way that will never complete, IE just keeps trying and eventually ISA blocks its IP. Connecting via HTTP to either site works fine, its just when you click on a link on the one site that has an SSL portion is when the problem starts.

I think ISA is getting confused that I have separate listeners pointing to the same site but in different protocols. I'm wondering if the requests are being sent back and forth through the listeners forever. Putting all of the protocols in one listener causes the same problem though, it seems.

I'm not sure if this is clear at all, my head is spinning, so please ask me for any clarification if necessary.

Thanks a lot,

-Shaun

Make sure the two rules are pointing to completely different directories.
