I am trying to understand what the "404 Not Found" message in the RSOE log file applies to: the log indicates the RSOE has found the Relay Server.

Hi Bill,

How are you doing.

Your dbsvc command gave us a hint that your are not deploying the RS at the location that RSOE expects by default. Adding url_suffix=/AbInterfaceRelayServer/IAS_relay_server/Server/rs_server.dll to the -cr switch of the RSOE should fix the issue.

Due to the mismatch location, IIS is returing 404 without handing the request to RS for processing and so RS logging is not possible in this case.

Regards,

-Wing

Thanks Wing. We are trying to create an additional TEST copy of the Relay Server setup you helped us get running a couple of years ago. But in following our fairly detailed documentation, looks like I had a grey hair moment. I am moving things to the proper (default) locations now.

I have made some progress, if progress can be measured by moving on to a new error... :)

After moving folders to proper (default) location and going thru all web service, Relay Pool, etc config steps again to reference new folders, here is the new error message.

Does the "Unauthorized" message refer to a folder on the web server, cert error, or ???

Trouble shooting 401 Unauthorized in OE is first to figure out if the error came from the RS or the Web server. This can be done by looking at the RS log. RS11 has two possible reason for issuing a 401. 1) Mac address mismatch. 2) Token mismatch. We deliberately don't send the failing reason back to the OE so that malicious attempt cannot use the info to identify valid MAC address and/or token. According to the RS configuration that you had posted previously, I believe you are not requiring any particular MAC or token and so it is unlikely that the 401 is from the RS. There can be a variety of reason a web server can response with a 401 and the sub status code record in the web server access log is the most useful tool to trace back what the issue is. Web server by default also don't sent the sub status code back to the client in the response for the same security reason.

Since you had just moved the RS extensions to a new location, instead of going through the normal trouble shooting steps, you might want to jump ahead and check if the authentication setting under ias_relay_server/server allows anonymous access. The OE requires that. According to your OE command line, you are not using client authentication and so your web server should be configure to ignore client cert for requests accessing ias_relay_server/server.

Working now.

After a number of changes in IIS Administrator, I could not get it going. So I un-installed IIS, re-installed IIS, and re-created the web site, and now it works.

Looks like I had something wrong in my original setup and was never able to correct it by re-tracing my steps and settings.

Thanks again Wing for pointing me to the right spot.

Hello Bill,

Does RS work fine since that time? We are monitoring our Relay Server, and I am just interested in other RS installations. How they live :)

Kind regards,

Vlad

(12 Jul '12, 07:44) Vlad

Hi Vlad,

Yes, working very well. We now have 6 running.

We get an occasional hangup, always traceable to other proxy servers, load balancers, etc. in the infrastructure going off-line, so we have a Scheduled Task that re-starts the services each morning "just in case". That has kept everything humming along smoothly.
