Knowing the network geometry, routing and address spaces would be most helpful if you expect a better response.


In my case it's:

Where's the PIX in that? Are you the poster I was talking to under a pseudonym?

No. He's someone else. This is my reply...

There's probably no bug, the problem is most likely with your PIX, though this is common with NAT'ed network devices in general (in your case your "DMZ".) If you take the PIX out of the picture, place your XServe (on a switch) behind your router but before your PIX, and give it a public IP (like a real DMZ) it should work just fine.

Well, yeah, and it does. But that's not what I need.

Well that's too bad b/c that's how FTP and NAT work together. Or should I say don't FTP was NEVER designed for use in NAT environments.


Apple says what I need "should work", so I just want to confirm that: Is *anyone* having success with secure afp to any type of nat'd host?.

Well this isn't dependent on anything from Apple but rather how your NAPT server operates, so it's outside Apple scope. Yes it /should/ work assuming you have a real and proper NAPT device, but those are rare.


FWIW, I do think it's a bug at least that turning on verbose logging for ssl breaks secure afp (try adding "LogLevel DEBUG3" to /etc/ssh_config and attempt a secure afp connection; it'll cause connection attempts to time out -- unless it's just me, but I'll file it...)

SSL isn't used for secure AFP, ssh is. Teh above debug line doesn't affect SSL at all. What are you talking about?
