I need help on making an asmx or wcf svc to work on https.
The IIS and certificate is already setup but when passing a post request with text/xml data. It returns 403 Forbidden.
Is there a setup that still needs to configure to allow a text/xml data?
Already fix this 403 Forbidden error. In my case, I am behind a firewall, not the firewall in my server but there is another firewall that my server is hosted and it is the AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall), allowing the client IP solves the issue. You can also disable other rule when troubleshooting the issue.
Troubleshooting Tips:
1. Verify that your Web Service is working in local development. Change web.config if necessary.
2. Add Logging to your IIS Web Application in the Server. Check logs if it contains 403 status.
3. Disable Firewall in the Server if logs from step 2 don't have 403 status.
4. If Step 2 and 3 don't solve the issue. Check the firewall that your server is hosted, it is the AWS WAF in my case, and disable all rules.

I have hosted a site in IIS (Version 10.0.16299) on windows 10.
My site running under SSL required. When my site running with SSL required I am getting error
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
But when I disable required SSL, I am not receiving this kind of error everything is working fine.
But in my case, it is a must to use a required SSL connection.
The IIS hosted site is a simple directory browsing site.
How can I use it with the required SSL?
And I have attached the Trace root are in the below link.
Failed Trace root file
I reviewed your FRT log and the error message is 403.7-Client certificate required.
It is obviously that you are Setting Client certificates to required. If you don't need client certificate authentication for your web application, then Require is not required.
If you just want to enable SSL for your https site,Check Require SSL and set client certificate to ignore is enough.
Please keep in mind that you need to Set Client Certificates to required only when your web app require to pass client certificate from client side
It's a certification related issue we observed and resolved when installed the right certificate in the trusted root.
Configuration need to change on IIS
Occurrence of 403 is not only particular instance, it's IIS configuration part, in most case you can resolve from IIS it's self, there might be some restriction level in IIS setting, you can check on IIS where your site hosted, find IP Address and Domain Restrictions option and check there will an entry to allow specif IP address, we need to update that entry by checking Edit Feature Settings... enter image description here then need to select Access for unspecified clients: earlier may be Deny instead of this we need to allow enter image description here. after those changes, your url available to access if you have same issue which I described.
We have OpenAM plugin for Apache Http server.
Here Apache Http server works as reverse-proxy.
OpenAM plugin validates user requests for authentication and authorisation then forwards the requests to service.
This works fine for some days. But suddenly, OpenAM plugin fails to authenticate and authorise and requests directly goes to service.
Only fix is to restart the Apache HTTP server.
But this is not the correct fix. We would like to find the real route cause of this problem and fix. There is no logging reported from http server.
Thanks.
There is no logs reported. Totally clueless. It is happening once in two days or >so.
You should set the Agent level to message and check the debug.log (in agent root --> instances --> debu --> debug.log) and trace the requests in the agent log files that are not working. There may also be relevant information in the system logs in the agent root log folders.
But suddenly, OpenAM plugin fails to authenticate and authorise and requests
directly goes to service.
What HTTP status code is returned during this period? By default, if the Agent cannot communicate to AM for policy advice (unless it has preconfigured fallback not enforced URLs) will be to 403 each request. You'd really need to check your debug and apache access logs to look at these requests hitting the reverse proxy (or whether they hit them at all).
I am connecting to an external soap endpoint using Apache CXF. I am going through a proxy server (using credentials) before I hit the https/SSL external endpoint. The team that supports the external web service is saying that they do not see my basic authentication header. I logged the header and payload from my workstation before just before it leaves my workstation. I can see both the basic authentication and the proxy authentication headers.
My question is really twofold:
1. At what point is the SSL message from my computer actually encrypted?
2. Is it possible for something in the network to be dropping the Basic authorization header?
3. What additional troubleshooting steps can I take?
I found the issue, my proxy server was dropping any header with the word Basic in it.
Thanks,
Brian
We have a couple of back-end web applications to which we want to provide access via the public internet. To that end, we are setting up a reverse proxy (IIS 7.5) from our DMZ. At the same time, we want these web applications to be claims-enabled through ADFS 2.0.
WEB1.MYCORP.COM/WFE1 is the other back-end web application, on our internal network
WEB1.MYCORP.COM/WFE2 is the other back-end web application, on our internal network
ADFS.MYCORP.COM is the ADFS 2.0 server, on our internal network
FSPROXY.MYCORP.COM is the ADFS 2.0 proxy server, on our DMZ
RPROXY1.MYCORP.COM is the reverse proxy for WFE1, on our DMZ
RPROXY2.MYCORP.COM is the reverse proxy for WFE2, on our DMZ
In keeping with the proper configuration of ADFS, our internal DNS resolves ADFS.MYCORP.COM to the actual internal server, while external DNS points ADFS.MYCORP.COM to the ADFS proxy (FSPROXY).
So, here's the scenario:
End user browses to RPROXY.MYCORP.COM
Reverse proxy forwards request to WEB1.MYCORP.COM/WFE1
WFE1 redirects browser to ADFS.MYCORP.COM (actually FSPROXY)
ADFS Proxy prompts for credentials and authenticates against ADFS server
Upon successful authentication, browser redirected back to web app
I have a couple of questions. Do I need to configure something in the rp or the application to allow this. Also the adfs endpoint is the rp url is that an issue?
Do I need to set up something for the reverse proxy as well? (Should I/can I) set up a claims-enabled reverse proxy in IIS? How do I set up the reverse proxy rules to pass back the ADFS request unaltered? Currently, when I try to access the back-end application, it fails with a 401 authentication error. If I remove the proxy and just hit the app server it works fine.
Further,
This fails:
The path is client --> rp -->app -->adfs --> rp -->app --> rp -->client machine
this works:
The path is client -->rp -->app -->adfs -->app -->rp -->client machine
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Not familiar with how you enabled reverse proxy in IIS (ARR?). Something like this http://blogs.iis.net/carlosag/setting-up-a-reverse-proxy-using-iis-url-rewrite-and-arr
One choice for you is to use ADFS 2012R2 (if possible) because the proxy in that, the Web Application Proxy, handles both ADFS authentication and can handle app publishing for your claims enabled application. There are 2 ways you can publish your app to the internet. Once is pass-through which is kinda what you are trying to do. But it also allows pre-authentication support for a claims aware app. This way, you can have a different policy that decides whether the application can get pass your EDGE network before a packet goes to your internal application.
After doing lots of digging and fiddler traces I found the issue. In testing idp setup the token was different then stage env. The fiddler traces showed that the token was making it back to the app server. The issue was it also looked like the cookie dropped off for no reason. The issue was because the old dev ipd value disagreed with the stage value...naturally. Once I cleared the old token from the database everything worked.
I have a client who wants to set up SSL on a new directory on their website. They already have one directory using SSL. BUT, when I go into IIS, even the current encrypted directory isn't set up to require SSL. And, when I set either the new or old directory to require SSL it returns and error page stating that I need to call the page over https (which I did), no matter what.
We are not running in a farm. This is a single web server with no load balancing or proxy that I know of. 443 is not blocked. The log files shows a request for the page over 443, but redirects to http. What could be handling the encryption?
ASP.NET 2.0 APP running on IIS 6.0.
Any help is appreciated.
Thx,

Your comment "The log files shows a request for the page over 443, but redirects to http" implies yours pages are being sent over port 80. If this is the case what makes you think your pages are being encryted?
Another thought - are you running any ISAPI extensions such as Helicon?
