Having problem with SSL and ITS

Oct 06, 2005 at 02:19 PM | 8 Views

I am using ITS 6.20 on windows, in a load balanced scenario. I am using IIS 6. For some reason I cant get SSL to work?

All i did was assign a port on the ITS wgate website for SSL. Then I added a url to the wgate registry config file. Still I cant even get the website to come up????

Thanks

UI WebGUI and Internet Transaction Server (ITS)

    Hello Jeremy,

    have you only configured the ITS? I think you should get SSL running on the IIS and then use this IIS to run the ITS inside.

    Hello Jeremy,

    Computer management

    > services and applications

    > IIS

    > <virtual webserver>

    > properties

    > <tab> web site

    > SSL port

    Documentation at MS

    Check the basic functionality of the https IIS first before you dock wgate to it.

    I got IIS up and I think I got it working. I want to know why that wgate-config url is such a POS! Either i am missing something or it adds the url and then after some time doesnt keep the entry in the itsregistry.xml

    I wound up manually adding it to the file. I know its not recommended, but I wonder why there is a section in the OSS note on how to do this???????

      Check if ItsRegistryWGATE.xml is updated!

      If not you are running with your changes in memory only.

      Your webserver runs probably under IUSR_.. access rights.

      Make ItsRegistryWGATE.xml writable for Everyone for the time being configuring.

      Repeat your wgate-config actions >> "activate" should update the ItsRegistryWGATE.xml !

      Else: the manuel way:

      You probably have an URL saying:

      - <key name="Url1">

      - <key name="Values">

      <value name="Protocol" type="text" />

      <value name="Host" type="text">_default_</value>

      <value name="Port" type="text">1080</value>

      <value name="ScriptPath" type="text">/scripts/wgate</value>

      <value name="InstanceName" type="text">IT1</value>

      <value name="Available" type="text">yes</value>

      <value name="RequireSSL" type="text">no</value>

      </key>

      <key name="Headers" />

      </key>

      Copy it, rename the new structure to "Url2"

      Change the:

      <value name="Protocol" type="text" />

      <value name="Host" type="text">_default_</value>

      <value name="Port" type="text">1080</value>

      accordingly e.g.

      <value name="Protocol" type="text">https</value>

      <value name="Host" type="text">_default_</value>

      <value name="Port" type="text">443</value>

      Protocol : "https" as wanted

      Host : "_default_" catches all; host, full domain, IP, etc

      Port : 443 as wanted

      Save the file and restart your webserver (ALSO restart the IIS MANAGER service!)
