FIX: SSL fails when Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 is configured on a Web server in IIS 5.0 isolation mode (841190)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 SP1
Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 SP1a

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0 that runs in IIS 5.0 isolation mode, and you configure IIS to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), a problem occurs. This problem occurs in Microsoft Windows Server 2003. The Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 (MCMS2002) site returns the following error message:

The page cannot be displayed. The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.

The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

CAUSE

MCMS2002 failed because the CMS HTMLPackager Internet Server API (ISAPI) filter did not have a chance to process the HTTPS request. This problem occurs in IIS 5.0 isolation mode. In IIS 5.0 isolation mode, the IIS process only processes the SF_NOTIFY_END_OF_REQUEST notification.

In IIS 6.0 worker process mode, the IIS process processes the following notifications:

SF_NOTIFY_SEND_RESPONSE
SF_NOTIFY_SEND_RAW_DATA
SF_NOTIFY_END_OF_REQUEST
SF_NOTIFY_END_OF_NET_SESSION

RESOLUTION

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. This problem was first corrected in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.
