Disable CRL Checking in IIS 6

2006-04-04T09:07:00.000-04:00

from here:

The simplest way to disable the CRL check is by using adsutil.vbs, located in the \inetpub\adminscripts folder. The following command will disable the CRL check for the first web site:

cscript adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/1/CertCheckMode 1
To re-enable CRL checking, do:

cscript adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/1/CertCheckMode 0

ISA Internal Server Error

2006-03-14T16:02:00.000-05:00

Note to self: ISA HTTP 500 internal server error messages with descriptions that run something like Target Principal Name is Incorrect are usually a result of the name on the certificate of the published server not matching the server's name. For instance, if you publish www.foo.com through ISA, but www.foo.com is configured with a server cert for www.foobar.com (or even www.foo.net), you'll get this error.
