internal ssl cert that works with domain and without
by Guest Bob- 5 replies
- 171 views
I have a web site on an internal iis 6.0 server. Some users use the host header name of the website with the domain attached and some connect without: for example: https:\\internal vs https:\\internal.company.com I have an SSL certificate that has the host header name and those that connect without the domain connect straight through, no errors. If they use the https:\\internal.company.com however they get a certificate error as the name is different then the certifcate. I can change the certificate to include the domain but then the host header name by itself gives the error. is there a way to allow both to work without a certificate error? I tri…

But to have this happen about every 20 minutes if very annoying. How can I find out what the program is and/or to stop the updater from flashing so often? Thanks -- ldl

After finally following all the advise to get rid of the Vundo trojan and a few others, which I now have done, my boot up continues normally, complete with blue background desktop and proper desktop icons and folders then suddenly the background turns to white, almost as if it would in safe mode. All the icons and links work as per normal but the white background appears during the last part of the boot up. The names of the icons however are blocked off in the original desktop colour of blue. All other functions of the computer work per normal, now. All suggestions appreciated and thanks in advance.
