Question

is my SSL Cert Exception something i've done wrong?

Hi,

I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on a problem I've had for a number of days now.

We have a flash based video player that uses flv's provided by FMS3.5 on the same web box (IIS) with a number of websites hosted on the same box.

I'm getting a browser based SSL certificate exception on our production server, but only when the website/video player is viewed from outside the corporate firewall. (Usually it's the other way around)

"A secure connection with this site cannot be verified..." and it gives the url of another site that's hosted on the same IIS box.

If I view the swf in the flash player or from behind the corp firewall I get no error, however if I view it from outside I get the error. If I accept the SSL cert I still get a connectionError.

I've tried adding a crossdomain policy file and even adding the path to that file to the server.xml config for FMS but still get the error/issue.

I'm stumped - hoping someone here can shed some light on the problem.

Regards

RR

    NAT issue perhaps? From outside the firewall, is port 443 NAT'd to the IIS IP?

    thanks for the response!

    443 is bound to another domain in IIS (which is the cert it's trying to use)

    secure.com:443

    unsecure.com:80 ...  which uses FMS and is now trying to use the cert from secure.com

    Should I be binding a secure port to the domain I want to use FMS on and then declaring that in the FMS config files?

    This is all like another language to me

    Another question which springs to mind is will this problem always have existed or is it something that could have changed?

    Also is there anyway to dissable the server using ssl?

    Maybe some clarification might help here...

    1. Are you trying to configure FMS to use SSL, or just trying to get it to coexist with IIS on the same server, without using SSL for FMS?

    2. Did you disable socket pooling on IIS?

    3. How is the adaptor.hostport in your fms.ini file configured? Are you defining an IP address, or just adding ports to the list?

    4. How is the NAT set up on  your firewall and router for port 1935, 80, and 443?
