We have 2 identical MOSS 2007 sp2 (12.0.0.6520 ) server farms in our current environment. The staging server farm is behind our firewall, with an internet facing server farm in our DMZ. Last night when we attempted to create a new content deployment job, we received the following error when we click "Connect" when creating the content deployment job.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Either the URL for the destination Web application is not valid, or you do not have permissions to the Central Administration site on the destination server farm. Error details: The remote upload Web request failed.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We can successfully navigate to the Central Administration page on the receiving server from the staging server, using the same login information we enter into the following fields:Connect by using a different account, basic authentication, and enter the correct DMZ user name and password.The really strange thing is that we have another content deployment job using the same credentials as the one we attempted to create, and it works fine. We had a previous deployment job on the server that we deleted and gave the one last night the same name, but I doubt that could be causing the issue?Thanks any and all help.

This looks more like its not finding the web application URL than an issue with credentials. Can you check if the destination URL does not have errors?

Thank you, I will check on this. I failed to mention that we are using SSL encryption between the staging and DMZ servers. The new web application also uses https://, I found this in the trace logs:02/26/2010 01:16:01.20 w3wp.exe (0x34AC) 0x31F4 CMS Content Deployment 8nh5 Exception The remote upload Web request failed.

Because we had 1 ssl cert on 2 web applications, we where getting the error. We applied 2 separate certs and bound specific IP addresses to the web applications to resolve this error.
