load balancing - SSL in IIS 7 on a subdomain in a web farm

itemprop="text">

I have been having one of the most
frustrating days in my entire IT career. I am trying to install an SSL certificate on a
subdomain in a web farm.



href="http://shop.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow
noreferrer">http://shop.mydomain.com needs to ALWAYS be forced to href="https://shop.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow
noreferrer">https://shop.mydomain.com




I
have a temporary cert issued from verisign on
shop.mydomain.com



I have installed the cert on
the server.



The website for shop.mydomain.com is
set as a host header in IIS with the DNS entry pointed to the same IP as mydomain.com -
which is our load balancer. I actually have 2 load balancers (as needed by our ISP). One
redirects all traffic on port 80 out to the different servers on port 80. The other
pushes out port 443 to the servers on port
443.



shop.mydomain.com is to be the only site
protected by SSL at this time.



When I add the
binding and I navigate to https://shop.mydomain.com it pops up with a warning about the
cert being invalid (assumed because this is a test cert), and then it sends the user to
http.




So, I checked the box "Require
SSL and it redirects to http://shop.mydomain.com/default.aspx and displayes an ASP.NET
404 error message. (not the IIS 404 error)



I
tried removing the binding on the site to port 80 as well with no
luck.



I am nearly ready to crawl under my desk
into the fetal position. How on earth do I make this work? I can't even get it to work
on one machine, let alone in the load balanced environment.



Answer




The problem ended up being in the code. The developer was trying to do IIS's
job for it. 2 days, wasted. Thanks for help on this.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
