BM 3.9 extra rules

Question

Running virtual BM 3.8sp5 on a NW6.5sp8 server - ok abends every few days.
So - created a virtual BM 3.9sp2 on a NW6.5sp8 server - with several problems:
1) Trying to go to a https:\\ site gives "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. (Not a BM error)
Why can I not go to a https site?
2) iManager is showing 12 rules. Whenever I modify one, click apply changes, then unload/reload BM, the server shows ALCHECK.NLM read 17 rules form NDS. I can add a rule to make it 13, then ALCHECK shows 18. Delete the rule, back to 12 and 17.
This would not bother me, but the rules are not working.
3) When BM is loading, we keep getting a bunch of errors: Get IP addr failed for hostname: http://hulu.com or http://shutterfly,.com
I can ping each one form the server with no problem.
Why am I getting these errors?
Thanks for any help,
Rick

Answer 1

Applied BM 3.9sp2_ir1, restarted server.
I checked the OU where the new BM server was created - found 5 rules. Deleted them. Now showing the correct number of rules in iManager and on the server console screen when BM loads.
Still can NOT https:
Made the first acccess rule: Allow Any HTTP Any - still could not do a https:
Unchecked Enforce access rules - now I CAN assess https:
(The browser IS configured to go thru proxy, port 8080)
Per the above, it would appear that one of the rules is not allowing https:
I've looked at each rule - nothing stands out that would block https:
Any more ideas or should I delete all the rules, then start adding them one at a time?
Thanks,
Rick

1. Look at the rules on the server object and container. You may have
rules at container level
2. Check that browser is configure to go thru proxy
3. Check the "enforce rule" checkbox in iman

Aclcheck can not resolve the name you enter. Either your dns is wrong or
the name you use on the access rules is wrong or nonexistent
