iis security: Hi,

I have configured SSL to my site, and I am able to open it Ok on Win
based browser, but not on MAC system.
-----------------------------------
My Site Developed in ASP.NET 2.0, and ported on IIS 6.0.
-----------------------------------
I got this error,

"Cannot find server or DNS Error Internet Explorer "
------------------------------------------------
I have try to use two different SSL certificate, but having the same
result.
------------------------------------------------
I have used 'SSL Diagnostics 1.1', but no warning or error turn up!!!
Might be the reason why I can browse my site ok on win OS browser.
--------------------------
Can anyone please help me out to solve this problem?

Thank you

Are you connecting by servername? or IP address?

If by DNS name, can you resolve the name correctly on your mac (e.g. does
"ping servername" return the correct servername?)

Cheers

Well, the problem is solved!! What I have done is, I have try to do
Telnet to my site and try to connect 443 from the machines where SSL
was not working!!!!

I found that, it is because some specific gateway the machines were
using were not allowed to connect on 443 port!!!!

First I simply change the gateway and it all worked!! Then request the
network admin of the server to allow 443 port for all, and it
worked!!!
