For the cert that I was attempting to assign to the listener, no reason was given. ISA just said it was invalid. We were guessing that the reason for flagging it as invalid was because it didn't have a private key. The "no private key" error was on the machine certs installed by our Enterprise CA (and not listed as a potential cert for assignment). The "strange behavior" was that sometimes ISA would say no private key and at other times say they are just fine. Not sure what changed between yesterday and today but today ISA is consistently showing those as all good - today.

Turns out an expired intermediary certificate (thanks VeriSign :P) existed in the Intermediate Certification Authorities Computer Store. The new one was being dropped into the Personal Computer Store. By deleting the expired certificate and moving the new one to the Intermediate Certification Authorities Computer Store, the issue was resolved.

When you do this, the private key stays in your personal store. -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>] On Behalf Of Jerry Young Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 9:10 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [isalist] Re: ISA Server 2006 Intra-Array Communication Actually, I did. :( On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 12:02 PM, Steve Moffat <steve@xxxxxxxxxx<mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: You haven't exported the private key along with the cert.

It's driving me nuts. :( Thoughts?

You tell ISA what IP address to use and the interface is selected on that basis. Er.. Why do you want them to communicate with each other via the external interface? There can be no web proxy listener operating there an so no intra-array communications can take place. Do the certs exist on all array members? They must if you want to assign them to a VIP. -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>] On Behalf Of Jerry Young Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 7:18 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [isalist] ISA Server 2006 Intra-Array Communication All, I seem to recall reading something that talked about a Registry entry that can be used to tell ISA Server which interface to use for intra-array communication. This is not the same as the UnicastInterHostCommSupport Registry value. Right now, I'm in the process of standing up a pair of ISA Servers in an array but am waiting for the network engineers to properly configure the switch port to which the external interface on one the servers is connected. Until that time, the two servers can't communicate with each other over the external interfaces. I'm running into some strange behavior (machine certs sometimes show as installed correctly, not installed correctly, or can't be found) when attempting to assign a certificate (different from the machine cert) to a listener that runs on top of an NLB VIP on the external interfaces and I'd like to rule out network connectivity between the two as a potential cause. Does anyone know of which I write or did I somehow muddle and morph something I read into something that doesn't exist? -- Cordially yours, Jerry G.
