Thunderstone Support Forums

I'm trying to index our public web site using the Thunderstone Search Appliance, but I keep getting stuck on the very first page. The error reads:

Timeout completing SSL handshake with ssl.google-analytics.com:443

The problem is most likely that the search appliance is placed on the DMZ and the firewall is blocking the outbound https traffic.

How can I make SBE ignore any SSL references in the indexed pages?

If they are "https" links uncheck "https" under allowed protocols on the all walk settings page.

If not you'll have to exclude them by url pattern. If the url has :443 in it you could use that as the exclusion. Otherwise list the undesired site names in the exclusions.

No luck.

I disallowed HTTPS and added "google-analytics" to the Exclusions list. The only effect is that SBE seems to break all operation when it hits the google-analytics link, thereby ignoring all other links on the page.

Any suggestions?

Set "Embedded Security" to "Same protocol".

Works like a charm. Thank you very much, mark!
