Bad Data error message
Question asked by Ray White - 9/23/2014 at 12:24 PM
Unanswered
Hi I am moving my old smartermail 5.5 to another server as a backup (I also have the latest version on another server)
I followed the instructions about moving to another server and it works ok if I log in without SSL. It's on windows server 2008 now  it was on server 2003 before.
But when I go there with an SSL connection I get the login page just fine, but then when I try to login I get this error below.
Anybody know what this might be and what to check?
I only copied over the files in the domain folder and the .xml and .dat files in the service folder.

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

Bad Data.

Seems like your SSL cert may be corrupt?

I tried it with two different certs that work for other things. Plus I get the first login page just fine and it's encypted.

It's on windows server 2008 now  it was on server 2003 before.
When you moved your SSL cert, did you remember to use the MMC Security console to add the cert, and associated certs, to the proper security base?
 
Even though IIS 7 allows some shortcuts for SSL certs, SmarterMail still needs them to be added to the security base via the MMC Security panel.  Once that's done, you also have to export the required cer file for SmarterMail, and place it in an area where it can be accessed by SmarterMail.
 
You can probably check your cer file validity by re-verifying your SSL and TLS port mappings in SmarterMail.  If they fail, you have a certificate issue and need to troubleshoot from there.

New update it doesn't work even with a regular http: unencrypted url. I thought it had had first. It only works with the built in web server. I think that version 5.5 is no longer compatible with IIS on server 2008?

I had same problem.
I solved it by setting AppPool "Enable 32 bit Application" to FALSE

I'm having similar issue, except that I am not using SSL. Didn't use it in the previous server.
 
I moved SM to a new server on a Google Cloud VM.
 
Copied over XML and domains, etc. I'm able to get to login page, but when I click to login I get the bad data error.  It works fine with internal SM webserver.
 
- AppPool is set to allow 32 bit. It doesn't work if false.
- Tried changing the logon for application pool to local, network, app identity
- Using Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.8669; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.8653  
 
Seems like it's a permission issue. I'm seeing the error in the event viewer.
