If your ISA continues to regurgitate "must use SSL", then it's
definitely required *somewhere*.

Get simultaneous captures during your HTTP connection test and I'll tell
you for certain who is responding this way.

Done that a dozen times, and use both of those same websites constantly
throughout the day from the Intranet.  SSL is definitely NOT required at
the IIS end...

I'm beginning to think the same thing.

 

You might want to check the website on the web server in which it
resides and make sure that either that web server or website is not
requiring that users use SSL to access the content.

The internal application must be requring SSL then if the Web Publishing
isnt' and the Web listener isn't configured to require SSL.

        You are correct, that is not what I want.  But, whenever I
disable the redirect users get a 403 forbidden error.  

        I'd be happy to disable all SSL on the listener, but for some
reason it won't work without it.

        You can't have it both ways - either you want SSL publishing or
you don't.

        If you configure the rule to "redirect HTTP to HTTPS", then you
force the users to connect using HTTPS, which you say you don't want.

        Please excuse my poor description; it is a difficult problem to
describe.  

         

        To summarize, I do NOT want to redirect ANY traffic on this rule
to HTTPS, but have "had" to do that because it won't work without it.  I
wasn't ignoring your clues; they were just describing what I already had
done as a "patch" to get it working.

        Clues have been provided and ignored.

        If you want ISA to redirect HTTP to HTTPS, then you have three
choices:

        1.      Configure this at the listener - of course, you have to
allow HTTP at the listener for this to work and this only works for ISA
2006

        2.      Create a "deny" rule that uses a redirect URL for any
HTTP connections - of course, this means you have to allow HTTP at the
related listener

        3.      Use a custom "redirector" such as  ISA_Redirects.zip or
other

         

        If all you do is configure the publishing rule to "notify HTTP
users to use HTTPS instead", you get the behavior you've been describing
all along and is indicated in the logs.

        I'm publishing two separate webservers right now and they are
both having the same problem, and both are reachable from the Intranet
with no SSL required.

        - You may create another test webserver

        - Use your exising publishing rule to publish that new test site

        I am still wondering the configuration at your web server side.

                Okay, I worked on it for quite awhile, cleaned up rules
and removed defined protocols that weren't in use anymore, and still get
the error...  I was able to possibly identify the cause of the previous
log though, and bring it down to three log entries that occur every time
I attempt to access the website when the redirect to HTTPS is disabled.

                No, that's the whole point; it's not supposed to
authenticate incoming connections! *grin* 

                 

                Reviewing the logs further, I'm starting to get even
more confused...  The "SERVERNAME" portion refers to my PDC, but the IP
associated with it in each request changes from my ISA server to the
webserver.  Initially, I was looking at the webserver as a possible
culprit, but the more I look at it I'm starting to look at the ISA
server instead.

                 

                I'll test it some more tonight if I can, disabling a
couple of suspect rules (and SurfControl) as a test to see if they might
be the culprit.

                Looks like there is a request to my PDC every time, and
it is being blocked because it is an anonymous outbound connection on
port 80.  That explains why I'm getting the errors, now to figure out
why it is doing that.

                The website you published is SSL required, so

                - when you publish through HTTP connection, access is
denied

                - when you redirect to HTTPs by ISA, it works.

                Then, you may need to check any changing at your
published web server but

                not ISA.

                        Here is the scenario:

                        - I remove all publishing rules and web
listeners, so I can start over.

                        - I go through the wizard to publish a single
webserver.  I take all the defaults, saying no SSL is required.

                        - When it gets to the part about a web listener,
I create a new one, taking the default settings and specifying no SSL or
authentication is required.

                        - The rule is done; I apply the changes, and
test it.  I get a 403 error.

                        - I edit the listener to redirect traffic to
HTTPS, and it works.

                         

                        There must be something simple I missed...

                        You cannot evaluate one without including the
other - period.

                        The listener; not the rule is what determines if
HTTP/HTTPS redirection is possible.

                        If the listener doesn't accept HTTP, then it
can't redirect it to HTTPS.

                        You're not trying to publish a stealth service,
are you?

                        Not Exchange traffic, but the main web server.
They both use the same listener, so it makes it difficult to modify one
but not the other.  Once I got the webserver working, I was planning on
taking Tom's suggestion that he had awhile back and using a redirect
page to redirect OWA calls to an alternate port/listener.

                         

                        In any case, in this particular instance I'm
referring to normal web traffic that I want in plain-text.  Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that if the publishing rule
was not working "non-SSL", then both the "authenticated traffic" and
"all traffic" options would behave the same way.  I.e., they would both
return an error if the client wasn't capable of the connection.

                        You never had ISA 2004 doing the redirects
without custom code.

                        It did not have this option.

                         

                        Let's get this straight - you want to publish
plain-text Exchange web traffic?!?

                        Also; "Redirect authenticated traffic from HTTP
to HTTPS" option in the web listener.  This works because it redirects
all web traffic to HTTPS" is incorrect; that setting only redirects
traffic which has already been authenticated - probably why only some
requests are working.  Change it to redirect "ALL" requests.

                        Nope, same server, and ISA_Redirects have never
been used on that server.  I used to publish the website without
requiring SSL, now that is the only way I can get it to work.  In fact,
I used the "connections" tab in the listener to force everything over to
HTTPS, just to get it working.  I just can't figure out how to get it
publish "without" SSL, as there seem to be some browsers that have a
problem with that method.  While I'd like to tell them to fix their own
system and get over it, that won't fly with a "public" website.  

                         

                        Where can I start looking for clues on this
problem?

                        That error response can only be obtained when
web publishing.

                        IIS response is quite different.

                        You probably were using the ISA_Redirects tool
or something similar and forgot to move it to the new server.

                        The good news is that in ISA 2006, such custom
mechanisms aren't required.

                        In the listener "Connections" tab, you can opt
to redirect anonymous or authenticated HTTP connections to HTTPS.

                        Original publishing is SSL bridge or tunneling?

                                When I upgraded ISA2004 to ISA2006, my
published webserver and Exchange server no longer worked.  

                                 

                                Browsing to the website gave me this
error:

                                Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The page must
be viewed over a secure channel (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)). Contact
the server administrator. (12241)

                                 

                                Typing https:// into the URL allowed the
traffic to flow.

                                 

                                The only way I could get it to work was
to enable the "Redirect authenticated traffic from HTTP to HTTPS" option
in the web listener.  This works because it redirects all web traffic to
HTTPS.  However, it doesn't work for all pages, we have a few pages that
have problems, and have had reports from some people that cannot access
the website at all.

                                 

                                So, I need to get this working properly
again.  I've deleted all of the publishing rules and the web listener
several times, recreating everything from scratch; it still gives me the
same error.  I've followed every tutorial I could find, it appears that
I'm doing it correctly.  There must be some little detail that I'm
missing with ISA2006.  Probably something obvious, but it is eluding
me...

                                 

                                Anyone have any ideas?
