RE: Orion and IIS
Title: RE: Orion and IIS What you should really do is set-up an IIS virtual root (e.g. /protected). You then set this virtual root to forward to, for example, http://localhost:8088 SSL can be run on the virtual root, which will encrypt all incoming traffic as it has the following pattern: CLIENT - IIS - ORION However, the traffic back from Orion to the client will not be encrypted, as the outbound port from the (Orion) server won't be secured using SSL. If this a requirement you may have to think more carefully about the solution. One of the best ways I've seen of encrypting data between a browser and a server is to run the encryption software on a firewall (if this option is open). Most commercial, and even some freebie firewalls come with an encryption module that allows you to protect traffic up the point where it passes through the perimeter of your network, which is essentially all you're really interested in. There is no drastic need to encrypt point to point, and SSL performance through firewalls tends to be a lot better.

Re: Orion and IIS
I would love to toss IIS to the dogs, but my smtp server's web admin is via ASP. That is the only reason I am running IIS. I am running it on a different than port than 80. The reason that I want to setup IIS to forward all requests to Orion is so I can setup SSL on IIS and have it forward all https requests to Orion. IIS has a very nice wizard to setupSSL and all the CA's have instructions for IIS and not Orion. I would really like to not do this, but since Orion doesn't seem to answer any of the SSL questions/post to either orion-interest or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am left with no other choice. I have SSL working with a test cert, but I have the same problems as many others on this list with a prod cert. I don't want to really run Apache for this as then I would be running 2 different web servers. So if anyone knows how to do any of the following, I would love some assistance: 1. Setup SSL prod cert (preferreably from Thawte) with Orion... Doesn't even look like Orion themselves have done this! 2. No of any servlet that will run ASP. 3. No how to make IIS forward/pipe all requests to Orion. Thanks, Dale - Original Message - From: J.T.

RE: Orion and IIS
Hi,
Redirecting all requests from IIS to Orion is as easy
as:
1.
Create an ASP page in your default IIS directory (usually InetPub/wwwroot)
called "default.asp"
2. The
contents of the file should be the two following lines:
%@
Language="VBScript" %
%
Response.Redirect("http://localhost:8080") %
(NOTE:
Substitute the redirect URL to your servername:portnumber )
3.
That's it!
Best
of luck,
Runar.
