    I'm trying to install DNN in a webfarm. I've a Load Balancer device, two web servers running windows 2003 and one running sql 2005. The application should only be accessed with https.

    When a user request a page eg https://www.mydomain.com/default.aspx?tabid=36, the load balancer remove the ssl and redirect the request to one of the web server using http://webservername:8081/default.a...?tabid=36.

    I've only configure two portalalias in the table corresponding the the name and port of my two web servers :

    webserver1:8081

    webserver2:8081

    I didn'd activate the ssl on the ddn side because my web servers are only receiving http request from the load balancer.

    If i try to get an image eg https://www.mydomain.com/portal/0/logo.gif -> no problem

    If i try a page eg https://www.mydomain.com/default.aspx?tabid=36-> IE give me 'redirect loop' and ie seems to never end the request

    if i try https://www.mydomain.com/keepalive.aspx -> no problem

     

    So apparently my problem is coming from the dnn inside redirection mechanism. Do you have any idea/ suggestion to solve this blocking issue ?

    Thanks for your precious help

    I don't have an answer -- mainly because I've got no experience with things like this. Try asking on the DotNetNuke forums.
