OK, time for accuracy...

The hotfix roll-up I applied is PSE450W2K3R07.msp.  Knowing there have been a 
few releases of Citrix servers since PM 4.5, I was careful about picking 
patches, etc so designated.

A Citrix vendor installed everything.  It has only one application - an 
extension of our medical records system. The Big Company that paid for the 
Citrix system accesses it via a published (published in public DNS; MIP'd 
through the firewall) web interface.  It does have a VeriSign certificate 
installed.  Only the one server and app in the server farm (not much usage - 
only a couple of users at a time).

At least, fixed since October, I have whacked SSL1, SSL2, and "weak ciphers".  
(They did not catch it last week, but SSL3 and TLS1.0 are no longer secure, 
either - more fun!)

Thanks for your attention...

Did you install the hotfix on an HRP07 server?  If so, I am surprised it 
allowed you to install it.  That hotfix is for HRP06.

Is that the Citrix hot fix roll-up that ended in "07"?  Did that...

For WebDAV, it is our Citrix server - it has IIS 6.0 (with WebDAV 
"prohibited").  Not sure how do-able is an upgrade to IIS 7.0 (without major 
assistance)...

Why have you not installed HRP7 on your servers?

What server is failing on WebDAV?

Greetings!

PCI Compliance scan on our Citrix system ("old" Presentation Server 4.5 on IIS 
6.0) done back in October included these remediation steps:

Disable WebDAV:  As per instructions, I went into the IIS manager, web 
extensions, and saw it was "Prohibited".  It still is.  However, the scan done 
last week shows the same thing - indicates nothing was done.

Disable TLS Renegotiation:  According to the Citrix site, the solution is to 
apply Hot Fix PSE450R06W2K3030.  So, after seeking the version for PS 4.5 and 
applying it, guess what?  "Disable TLS Renegotiation" again.

@#*& !!!   ???

I mean, it's bad enough that SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 have been cracked (no mention 
of that in the scan report), but this stuff (which is supposed to have been 
remedied by those who have been faithfully applying MS patches over the years) 
is nuts!
