RPC over HTTP/S single server environmentOS is 2003 sp1. The proxy is installed. I've edited the valid ports regsitry key and confirmed they are working via the rpccfg /hd command. The correct server names and ports are listed. I think my problem is with IIS 6.0 and to be more specific the certificate. By the way this server is the CA. With SSL disabled on the RPC directory I can hit the directory from a client. It prompts me for my user creds three times then gives me the desired page. If I enable SSL on the RPC virtual directory and then try to access it via HTTP of course I get the page telling me that the page has to be displayed via a SSL connection. I use HTTPS and I get "page cannot be displayed". I have removed the certificate and re-created it once and I'm about to try it again. The name of the certificate is "mail.domain.com". Of course when I run outlook /rpcdiag It doesn't connect. I know that my laptop is configured properly because I hit my company's server using RPC over HTTPS through another profile. I've configured this in several cases but never on a single server. Are there some tricks I don't know about? Any help would be greatly appeciated. I've found that this page has worked forme:

through it again to see if there is anything I've missed. It's just strange, from inside this network if I go to http://serverNetBIOSname/rpc I get the desired effect. If I enable SSL on the RPC virtual directory then try https://serverNetBIOS/RPC, I get page cannot be displayed instead of the three logon prompts followed by the "you are unauthorized" page. Being that this is coming from the internal network that eliminates a possible firewall problem. I'm also reading through the default website logs to see if I can find the "needle in the haystack".

prompted for my login 3 x's before it tells me that I don't have the permissions to view the page. I can run the outlook /rpcdiag and of course it keeps prompting me for a logon. I have tried several different accounts with no luck. After doing this I can view the default website logs and see where the RPC IN and RPC OUT traffic where getting to the default website. I'm thinking that the existing setup is working as is to the IIS part. Now I'm thinking that the problem is whith the authentication. I'm kind of at a loss where to go in troubleshooing now. If you want to see the registry entries I've made changes to then I can email to you for confirmation. Thanks Show quote "Jeremy Henry" wrote: > I've been through this site and all it's child links.
