No capture? 
I said we'd need "simultaneous capture and ISA log".

The ISA logging shows connection closures from either the remote server or 
local client (status = 995; "The I/O operation has been aborted because of 
either a thread exit or an application request").  Without the capture, it's 
impossible to say why the connection was terminated or who terminated it.

Hi Jim,

I managed to get a log posted on site in excel format. Take a look at it when 
you have a chance please. Any other comments are welcome. Thank you

Get a simultaneous capture and ISA log.

Between the two of them, we may be able to sort it out.

You have to remember that you're 2nd in line behind John's cap analysis, 
though...

Status code I have to check on next time. I didn't pay attention to it. 

Because this is the only https site which again I might be totally wrong

User logs in, icons come up. Then clicking on any icon to go next step takes 
forever and eventually fails

There is no other application installed. We are using IE6 to go to the site

 "failed connection" - with what status code?

Why do you think it has anything at all to do with the user cert?

What is the behavior right up to the failure?

Does the application use the browser or just the browser settings?

Hi Jim,

This is the only site that we have problem with. By slow I mean "page time 
outs". I removed the direct access setting as you said it was no good anyway. 

Checking on logs I can see "failed connection" to njpod18.adp.com. Since this 
is the only https site that is facing this, I think maybe it got something to 
do with SSL certificate assigned to client. 

Anyway I just don't know where else to look. Maybe Dan and Tom can send me to a 
good reference.

Thanks again

First of all, you need to quantify "slow access".

At which point in the process is the connection determined to be "slow"?

What do you find in the ISA logs for this process?

 

The fact that your application can reach the site without the direct access 
rules means that you are on the wrong track with that attempt.

Remove those from your settings unless you *really* want to screw things up..

 

If you followed Amy's blog steps, then you've done what you can to allow access 
to the site.

 

Maybe Tom can dig up the "slow ISA" blog he posted some months ago...

He outlined some really good troubleshooting steps in there.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your response. The problem I have we are using a web based ADP 
payroll by going to https://payex.adp.com. As you notice it requires an 
assigned certificate to go to site. Client is a xp sp2 with pop up blocker 
disabled and there is an allow rule on top going from internal to *.adp.com 
which allows all users access.

Problem is behind ISA pages load slowly (2-3 times slower) and sometimes they 
even time out. Checking on live monitoring I found that connections are going 
to njpod18.adp.com which I think *.adp.com should cover it. If I connect the 
client directly to the router in front of ISA then everything works as fast as 
expected. Yesterday there was a threat about speed and Tom mentioned increasing 
connections should help. Even that gave me no luck.

I have convinced the accounting that we should migrate to installed version of 
payroll program instead of web based. But that could be done after January. For 
now on I just connect one of machines directly to internet and let them do the 
payroll but that is not the practical solution. Man what a mess it would be if 
I deploy IE7 and the certificate check it has.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this problem. ADP support as 
soon as they see a proxy server set in IE, then it is my side to figure out the 
problem. They have no documents about it. I found some instructions but that 
was no help either. That was why I tried the direct access solution.

You're shotgunning, Ara.

Creating an "allow all" rule has nothing to do with "speed".

Unless *.adp is part of the network structure that it "local" to the browser 
client, adding it to the web browser and domains data is inappropritate.

Proxycfg has nothing to do with IE settings or IE behavior.

Can you explain what you mean by "speed problems"?

Hello everyone.

 

I added *.adp.com for direct access to adp site. Created a rule to allow all 
outbound traffic from internal to *.adp.com but I still have speed issues. So I 
ran the proxycfg on the client which is xp sp2 with firewall client installed 
and it is telling me nothing is set for direct access. Any idea why? 
Appreciated
