Hi Fellas:

I have a user who cannot connect to the following site:

CRPA-ACRP Web Site: News

They just get the  error message.

We have an ASG425 using e-Dir SSO.

This is all I can see in the log:

2009:09:02-10:49:13 rastro1-2 httpproxy[22709]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="http access" action="pass" method="POST" srcip="172.18.118.166" user="TEdwards" statuscode="200" cached="0" profile="REF_DpNJnpEFpS (Research)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="1" time="400 ms" request="0x878f378" url="8.17.248.22/.../x-fcs" 
2009:09:02-10:49:14 rastro1-2 httpproxy[22709]: id="0001" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="http access" action="pass" method="POST" srcip="172.18.118.166" user="TEdwards" statuscode="200" cached="0" profile="REF_DpNJnpEFpS (Research)" filteraction="REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction (Default content filter action)" size="1" time="473 ms" request="0x878f378" url="8.17.248.22/.../x-fcs"

This site seems to be using some-sort of authentication but the user cannot even reach the root page to login.

The link seems to work fine thru BordumManger and ForeFront TMG however.

Thanks!

  • Yesh, I added it to the exception list with no luck.

    I never thought of that but it is happening on any pc that is using the ASG as a proxy.

    All my other proxies work!
  • Do the other proxies do AV scans?

  • BordumMangler no, Forefront TMG yesh!
  • Hmmm... Well, when I watched the HTTP live log, all I saw were accesses of pages on  crpa-acrp.ca.  Have you tried clearing the Astaro HTTP cache?  The DNS cache?

    Cheers - Bob

  • I tried clearing the HTTP cache before but not the DNS cache.

    Is there any risk in clearing the DNS cache in production?
  • No danger that I know of.  If you're really unsure, put in a temporary 'Internal (Network) -> DNS -> Any : Allow' packet filter rule.  Just empty 'Allowed Networks' in the DNS Proxy, hit [Apply] and then put the same items(s) back and [Apply] again.  Then delete/disable the DNS rule if you even bothered with it.

    In V7.5, there will be a [Flush DNS] button.

    Cheers - Bob
