 Greetings.

 I am working with some data that needs to be kept secure.  I was wondering
if anyone on this list knew how to force browsers to connect at 128bit
Encryption or
 better, or, failing that, figure out what encryption level the browser is
using.

Re: Persistance between HTTP and HTTPS

2001-12-06 Thread Steve Best



We came up with a fix, not sure if it will help 
you. In the orion-web.xml config file, we added session-tracking 
autojoin-session="true" cookies="disabled" /. We havent tested whether 
or not it will still work without the cookies="disabled", or the 
autojoin-session="true", but it works with both for the time being.

  Don't know if it's related, but we've found that while we're using 
  HTTPS on Orion, the sesions would, seemingly at random, sometimes vanish on 
  us. Reasons unknown, and we haven't tracked it down 
  yet.

Greetings, we are currently experiencing what

between the two on our site, and only in-frequently. Has anyone ever 
experienced this problem before?

 Hi,
 
 I've been having great problems with this list. I love
 the product so far, but I must say the support leaves
 a lot to be desired

Re: Yup, SSL question

2001-10-18 Thread Steve Best



Nevermind, I have found the keystore and have 
imported the certificate. I believe my problems now have to do with our 
clustering/load balancing configuration. We are currently using an Alteon 
Acedirector 3 for our load balancer. We are also using clustering to 
maintain sessions. I think the error I have been getting:

"Error listening to SSLServerSocket: No available 
certificate corresponds to the SSL cipher suites which are 
enabled."

is because our certificate is for our virtual IP, 
and not for our local machine, and therefore Orion is unable to load the 
certificate correctly because it isnt for the local host. The question is, 
how do I configure Orion to load a certificate for our virtual site? Here 
is my configuration, with some entries modified to protect the 
innocent:

web-site host="localhost.simpledevices.com" 
port="8443" cluster-island="1" secure="true" display-name="SMS 
WebSite" default-web-app 
application="sms" name="sms-web" 
shared="true" 
load-on-startup="false" / 
ssl-config keystore="../keys/keystore" keystore-password="123456" 
/ frontend 
host="virtual.simpledevices.com" 
port="443"/ access-log 
path="../log/sms-web-access.log" //web-site

I have tried setting the web-site host="[ALL]", but 
I get an error saying I cannot cluster with that configuration. Though I 
no longer get the SSLServerSocket error.

Thanks for any help,
Steve

  How do I get them both into a working keystore?
