SSL Certificate Renewal, Windows Mobile Acess and iPhone Access

edwardwagner — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:12:56 GMT

I recently renewed my Verisign SSL certificate and installed it successfully; however the two handheld devices - Samsung Windows Mobile device (with latest version of Windows Mobile) and iPhone (latest OS) - cannot communicate with the Exchange 2003 (Windows 2003 SP2) server once I check the "require SSL" box. The Samsung gives a "0x85010014" error code, and the iPhone just states that it cannot communicate with the server.

I can still use OWA fine. If I do not require SSL on the server end, while still requiring it on each handheld device, everything is happy (except, of course, you can login into the OWA with http:). I spent a long time with the Verisign tech support and did not find anything to solve the problem. We did solve a related issue, which was that the Samsung device could not communicate even without SSL - needed to download a new certifcate to that phone since some models did not have the latest security certificate version that Verisign started using (which has apparently been in use for several years and the iPhone had already).

I did not change any settings on either device (they have always required SSL), nor the server - other than installing the certificate - but now the handheld devices won't connect if SSL is selected on the server, so I have to have it turned off in the IIS for now. Also, SSL was on until I inserted the certificate, so I'm wondering if something else (besides the SSL was perhaps reset). I have read that ActiveSync does not really use SSL, but it had no problems with the server requiring SSL until I installed the new certificate.

3GB switch and IIS 6.0 utilizing web gardening

jamescpk — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:25:33 GMT

Are there recommendations for or against using the /3GB switch in IIS 6.0? We are currently running three worker processes in a web garden with the 3GB switch enabled. We are considering disabling the 3GB switch, but increasing the number of worker processes in order to increase work-load per server. We are utilizing SQL Server session state.

IIS as web server and application server ??

Asp_Man — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:28:29 GMT

Hi,

I have created an web application in C#,

i have deployed the application on the IIS 6.0 and it is running fine, for eg: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.80/TestApplication

but my requirement is, there should be 2 servers

1. Web server

2. Application server

Web server which should contain the url and application server which should hold the actual code of the application and it will be inside the network. So that web the web application is called by any user then it will be calling my web server and it will forward the request to application server.

can any one help me in this regard.

thanks.......

virtual directory name and URL path conflict causes malformed hyperlinks in aspx pages

Max Ainscough — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:53:53 GMT

Hi,

I (through supporting a client) have discovered an issue where hyperlinks / script urls are malformed when any string occurs as both part of the base URL as well as a virtual directory name e.g. "http://trythis.microsoft.com/trythis/myapp.aspx" Has anyone else come across this issue, and is there a known resolution?

To replicate the errors, I did the following:

Created a new virtual directory to our (working) web app named 'trythis'
Created a new host header name 'trythis.microsoft.com' against the website using the same defaults as localhost
modified my hosts file to add reference to 'trythis.microsoft.com' IP 127.0.0.1
restarted IIS
pinged 'trythis.microsoft.com' successfully
navigated to 'http://localhost/<application>.aspx' successfully with all elements working correctly.
replaced 'localhost' with 'trythis.microsoft.com' - with the page appearing but no images,links,scripts etc. being formed correctly.

I have been able to replicate this on both 5.1 (xp) and 6.0 (Svr 2003)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

IIS6: IIS output duplicated response headers for perl CGI

mmpower — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:44:35 GMT

Our perl CGI scripts output response headers repeately which were inserted into the output html contents. a sample code:

use strict;

use CGI;

$|=1;

my $q = new CGI();

print $q->header("text/html"), $q->start_html("test");

print "aa";

print $q->end_html ;

outputs the following on browser:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:34:27 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 aaHTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:34:27 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

if I remove the line "$|=1", then it outputs:

If I run the script above from command line, it also outputs:

seems everytime the script output something, IIS always automatically append the same response header to the output. So if I change the above script to:

use strict;

use CGI;

$|=1;

my $q = new CGI();

print $q->header("text/html"), $q->start_html("test");

print "<br>aa";

print "<br>bb<br/>";

print $q->end_html ;

it now outputs the following on browser:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:41:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
aa

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:41:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

did anybody experience the same issue? how do I fix this?

the server is windows 2003 std with service pack 1, running IIS 6.0. same script runs ok on other server that has the same version of software running.

Thanks,

Re: publishing from VS2008, errors 'no web server name' and 'unspecified error' - please please look

EdSF — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:34:10 GMT

Break it. It's mind-boggling how a simple thing like "publishing" via FTP gets so problematic. And the kicker is that it adds a file that effectively puts your site "offline" until you delete it. This isn't a client issue, I can use command line FTP and Dreamweaver (going as far as adding check in/out) to do the same thing. Just by this sentence all the discussion about firewall, file/folder permissions , ftp server setup, etc. etc. are rendered moot. There are some discussions about "passive mode" as well, and that's not it either. VS2008 ftp publishing is well, broken...sigh.... The round-about way? Publish to file system, and just use whatever other ftp client you have handy - that's how simple this job should be so whatever else VS2008 is doing...it shouldn't. If you don't have some FTP gui client, just use command line FTP...it'll save you all the wasted effort trying to do something that's been around since, wow, I don't know how long ftp been around...I just dated myself :) A case of "better together" isn't...unfortunately...

Head wrecker: 2 Identical servers with 2 websites BUT

theh1982 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:39:29 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am doing a migration to two new servers and I am having a very strange problem.

Server 1 and Server 2 both host multiple websites and use an web drive which is an EMC storage (both windows see them as normal drives)

Server 1:

Website-A works

Website-B Does not work (error 404)

Server 2:

Website-A does not work (error 404)

Website-B Works

They are both IIS6 servers with ASP webpages on there and i set the permissions to everybody full control + network services full control and I enabled server side extensions like .asp etc etc the same. I also verified all the config and it is the same.

Please help...

Re: Create Website on D:\ drive

Jarell — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:19:28 GMT

Man this poor guy I feel for him ... Ok now to get an answer I will rephase it to what I thought he ment and an issue I'm having..

I have automation software that sets up new sites automatically based on where iis is installed not just where the default/ WWWRoot is so I want to know if there is a true meta editor out there like metaedit 2.2 was that will allow me to SEARCH (something meta explorer will not do) The meta Database and replace the C:/inetpub location with e:/inetpub so that the SMTP root, FTP root and WWW root can all be moved to Drive E.. It use to be real easy in IIS 5 with metaedit. just copy the folder permissions and all then edit the meta...

I have looked for a way to modify this till I'm blue in the face and doing an unattended install is not an option as Microsoft limits the usage of their keys I am not willing to burn one on a reinstall. I have looked at directly editing the metabase.xml but it does not seem to have any paths in their either to change from c to e drive... Any help would be appreciated....

And please don't ask why I can't do it your way and just manually edit the website home directory as I think I pretty well covered the fact that I can't...So for the sake of not having an argument lets assume I'm right.. if you have a solution that would be great.. Thanks in advance.

Protecting static content on IIS7 in Classic Mode

aures_arrigo — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:07:18 GMT

Hi,

I know how to protect my static (HTML) pages in IIS6, and how to do it using the IIS7 Integrated Pipeline, but how can I protect my HTML pages from unauthorised access in IIS7 when running in Classic Mode?

It's an ASP.NET site using forms authentication.

Thanks!

Output caching with IIS 6

jtagg — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:41:14 GMT

Hi, Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but I have created a page that uses a Masterpage, and has output caching enabled. When I test it on the local development server (repository) running IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 the caching works as expected. When I test on the live server also running Windows 2003 and IIS 6.0, it does not work. The page has VaryByParams="none", so possibly something to do with Kernel caching (I've read quite a bit about this, though not sure I totally understand nuances of Kernel mode, HTTP.sys, etc.)? Any suggestions welcome. Many thanks, James
