Hi, folks. As a newbie to the list, I'm having some issues with IE (and
occasionally Netscape) clients accessing a server, and I hope someone has
dealt with the same thing.
Essentially, older versions of IE usually (but not always) freak out with
"An error occurred in the secure channel support" or "The page cannot be
displayed. Cannot find server or DNS Error" messages. I've even had an old
version of Netscape (4.0, I think) sometimes act strangely when talking to
the secure server.
I personally run IE 5.5 and have never been able to duplicate the problem.
However, I've seen it happen on older machines running IE 4.0, 5.0, 5.01,
and I've heard of it happening on 5.5.
Red Hat Linux 7.0
Kernel 2.4.2
All patches released by Red Hat to date have been applied
Apache/1.3.14
mod_ssl/2.7.1
OpenSSL/0.9.5a
DAV/1.0.2
PHP/4.0.4pl1
mod_perl/1.24
(To the best of my knowledge, these are the latest versions put out by Red
Hat.)
There's a Thawte certificate installed on the server.
I've seen the following KB article linked to many times. I don't think it's
the issue.
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q181/1/47.ASP
Also, I scrubbed the mod_ssl FAQ and found this gem, which seemed to
pinpoint the issue to a tee:
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.3/ssl_faq.html#io-ie
I reconfigured Apache as suggested in that section of the FAQ, and
unfortunately it seems as though the same clients are still having the same
issues with the server.
Has anyone had to deal with this issue before, and if so, how did they
solve it?
Thanks in advance!
