HTTPS not working from some clients
|
|
|
| Hello !
I use Windows Server Certificates. Enabled the "require secure channel"
option for a virtual directory.
From some clients i can access the directory. A message pops up in IE, saying
that the certificate wasn't issued by a trusted ca.
Then I click yes and it works fine. O.K. so far.
But from some clients i cannot access the directory. The message doesn't
show up.
I compared almost every setting in IE, they're the same.
No Firewall issue. I see the client connect to 443.
Any ideas, why some clients can't access the dir ? Same IE Version, same
settings.
Thanks for any hint.

| Hi,
are these client on LAN? How long did you wait -- this can take a while if
the client doesn't not trust the certificate -- it also depends on
connection speed...? What was the error on screen?
Install CA certificate on the client (this will make computer trust the
certificate) and try again. See if there is any difference.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
All clients on LAN can access the directory (OWA virt. Directory).
Also some public clients can, but not all of them.
The error message is "the page contains no data" in mozilla.
If I turn off friendly http error messages in IE, it just says "Done"
and the page is all blank. If i turn on friendly messages, "I get a Page
cannot be displayed" error.
I'll try to install the cert on the client, to see what happens.
