Can someone please explain to me why Andrew's original e-mails always
seem to come through without the [isalist] tag on them?

 I some times end up reading half a thread because it always seems to
junk mail his stuff, yet I've told it to ignore anything that has
[isalist].

Hi Everyone remember me??  :)

 

I am sure these guys before me who are Russian had good intentions when
they put this network together but they sure a hell messed it up. :(

 

For starters the web site which has SSL has been plagued with issues,
one which from the web side when you access the managers site and click
on their real-time java application it opens a window and java starts up
but then the applet shows a red X. If you open the site locally on the
LAN side and go to the managers site (not using SSL) and open real-time
the applet works without any issues. 

 

Next they have apache on the DMZ taking http of the site and converting
it to https (the certs are stored on the Linux box and there aren't any
certs installed on IIS or Exchange) and are also redirecting URL
requests on the site to the actual application server which runs on the
LAN side on Windows 2003 Server as 192.168.1.10:8082, if I HTTP locally
to the full URL with PORT number I get "page can not be displayed", plus
to top it off the site works perfectly except for the Exchange link
because its not pointed right on the LAN side without the SSL or
redirecting the pages to port 8082.

 

So my question now is as I am going to through this lame WatchGuard
firewall looking at their rules I notice they block a gazillion of IP
addresses and Ranges from SMTP, then to make it more archaic because the
SMTP and IMAP come into the second Linux box on the DMZ then pass
through to the Exchange server, and funny Exchange passes SMTP back to
the Linux box, they also block the same gazillion IP addresses and
ranges between the Linux and the Exchange server. I am wondering if I
should also port the IPs into ISA into one rule or add them to IMF which
I am going to install them for them once ISA is ready to go?

 

Can someone tell me if there is a cheaper SSL service on the net? Their
only SSL cert currently is hosted by Network Solutions, and ideally I am
thinking since they don't transfer and confidential information when
clients login such as credit card numbers etc that if I can't find a
cheaper SSL cert service request NS to reissue the cert as
owa.domain.com so I can then apply it to the OWA Exchange site keeping
the stock site as HTTP, and maybe do RPC over HTTP for them since they
have sale people on the road with notebooks.

 

FYI, I am racist in anyway when it comes to Russians I find it very
funny that ones I have met over the years or heard about think more
about job security then they do about doing the job right. I am sure
there are a lot of hard working Russian people out there who are honest!

 

Regards,

Andrew
