RE: [isalist] Re: SSL Bridging FunActually, you already have my favorite choice
in place; the
internal domain name is based on the public domain name.
This allows you to register only one name and still have two different cakes to
eat..
http://isaserver.org/pages/articles.asp?art=64 should get you started on the
split DNS question.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your response.
In answer to your question, sort of.
Our external domain name is "fpa.asn.au",
Our internal is "nt.fpa.asn.au".
Also, I do have an entry in the hosts file on the ISA server pointing to the
internal address of the
web server. A ping from the command prompt on the ISA server confirms that it
resolves to the
internal address.
Thinking about it last night, I've come to realise that it may in fact be
working for the outside
world, but not for us internally because all of our clients point to the ISA
server for DNS, (which
then forwards external bound to our ISP's DNS servers).
Therefore an internal client will see the "loop" error, whereas the outside
presumably wouldn't?
This is what I'll be testing in the next hour.
Would appreciate a pointer to information on "split DNS structures".
Particularly as we'll be moving to active directory and Exchange 2000 soon
which, as I understand
it, will require the use of our external domain name internally as well.
Cheers, and Thanks,
Tony Lou

ISA is resolving the web server name to its own external IP address (thus the
proxy chain loop msg).
As stated in the article, you'll need to help ISA resolve the name to the
proper internal IP using
either a hosts file entry or a 'spoof' DNS entry.
This is another argument for a split DNS structure.
You aren't using the same internal domain name as you use externally, are you?

Hi all,
Having an issue with SSL bridging which is driving me spare. Would appreciate
some assistance from
any who have come out winners in this area.
We have a Web server (W2K, IIS) running on our internal network.
Published through ISA on standard ports (ie, HTTP - 80, SSL - 443)
A Verisign Certificate installed on both IIS and ISA.
I have worked through this document;
(http://www.isaserver.org/pages/articles.asp?art=157) to the letter.
The problem seems to relate to this line in the document;
9.15 "On the Rule Action window select "Redirect the request to this internal
Web server"
9.16 "Make sure you enter the name of the internal web site being published
(not the IP address or
internal server name). This is the same as the certificate.
NOTE: Make sure the ISA server can resolve this name to the internal Web
servers IP address.The
external DNS servers will resolve the published Web site name to the external
IP address of the ISA
server but the ISA server needs to resolve the name to the internal published
Web server. You may
have to create a HOST file locally on the ISA server to resolve the name to the
internal Web server
IP address"
If I enter the "Web Site name" I get this error generated by the ISA Server;
"The server has detected a proxy chain loop. This condition
might indicate a configuration problem in proxy server".
If I don't, and instead enter the internal IP address, all works fine except
that SSL doesn't bridge
and I get this error instead;
"500 Internal Server Error - The target principal name is incorrect.
(-2146893022)
Internet Security and Acceleration Server"
Would deeply appreciate any assistance.
Thanks in Advance,
Tony Lou
