I performed a clean install (read as reformat and reload) for a server used for secure http connects this weekend using RedHat 7.0, which came with , such that the server is running Apache 1.3.14-3 using OpenSSL 0.9.5a and mod_ssl 2.7.1-3. Prior to the upgrade, the server had been using Apache 1.3.6 and OpenSSL 0.9.3a. (I am unsure what version of mod_ssl may have been on the server, possibly 2.3.5.) Following this, I am now receiving reports of problems when some users attempt to make https (secure http) connections. The browsers affected appear to be those versions of IE (Internet Explorer) prior to 5.01 SP1 (I have been able to test versions 4.01 SP1a 128-bit, 5.00.2614.3500 40 and 128-bit, and duplicate the effect, but not with versions 5.01SP1 or above). I had not received reports of such issues before the upgrade. The general scenario I am seeing is thus: The user clicks on a link for secure ordering, gets the form which is missing one or more of the images also on the form page, but when they submit the form, they get an error saying the server could not be found, or that a DNS error occurred, or that an error occurred in the secure channel support. The logs on the server show nothing regarding the connection. I have contacted Microsoft, and while the technician I spoke with did not rule out that there might be a problem with the earlier browsers, he and the other technicians he spoke with suggested that since it became apparent after the upgrade, that there may be a problem with a setting or configuration option on the server. I can find few if any references to this kind of issue, and generally those only reference one particular incarnation of the browser. I am at a loss as to the next step to take, so any suggestions (especially from those having experienced and corrected similar issues) would be greatly, greatly appreciated. -Albert Croft ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
