Greetings list members; I am in the process of bringing up an ISA 2004 Standard SP2 server running on Win 2003 SP1(joined to the domain) to be used strictly as a web proxy for internal clients. It is set up in edge mode. I have created firewall access rules to allow outbound connections based on Active Directory group membership. Internet U gets full access except for a list of blocked URL's. Internet R gets access to an allowed domain name list. Internet VR gets pretty much nothing, a couple of allowed sites and the intranet. Everything seems to be working, except for access to secure sites (HTTPS). I have been lurking about the forums on the isaserver.org site quite a bit lately and see some others with similar issues, but have yet to glean the answer I need from any of the threads. I have tried extending the SSL port range with the Port Range Extender utility I found, but I think I am missing something way more basic. I don't even get "page failed to load" messages. It seems like links to secure pages are dead. One other issue I will note; initial page loads seem inordinately long sometimes. Once you are in, you can browse fine, but that first page load almost seems to hang sometimes. TIA Drew
