Hello, I have a Windows 2003 member server running an application which could be accessed by https://app.test.com:12345. This application uses Apache as web server and the libraries are not configurable by us. I like to have this application accessed by a simple URL for example https://app.test.com thus having users not to remember the port number. I have a separate Windows 2003 web server with IIS 6 installed. Can I configure a redirection from IIS to https://app.test.com:12345 so that any requests for https://app.test.com will in turn be directed to the server running the application? Thanks

Not positive, but I'd have to say no. You would still have to give the port number. Thanks, James

Hello TSAM, I could have sworn that i already posted to this or another similar question, but in any case based on your description, that is not possible. Your best option is to have Appache listening on both port 80, 443 and 12345. When requests are received on port 80 or 443, have your Apache server redirect to 12345. That way you can take care of http and https requests destined for app.test.com. You cannot accomplish this using two different servers because the DNS hostname app.test.com will be pointing to one IP. Another option, (if you cannot redirect with Apache-I am not an expert on that product) is to run IIS and Apache on the same box. IIS listens on 80/443 and Apache only listens on 12345. There should be no conflict since the apps are listening on different ports.Visit my blog: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.
