IE7 on Vista and SSL

We recently had a problem where a customer wasn't able to access JIRA via SSL from IE7 on Windows Vista (and IE 5.5 on WinNT although we never got to test that). Firefox worked fine. IE7 from Windows XP worked fine. The customer was using a self-signed certificate which is perfectly fine, since the browser should simply prompt you to accept the certificate.

As part of the move our new Sydney office we purchased a duplicate of our main router, a Cisco 1841. This was necessary as we wanted to have the network fully installed and tested before the move started in order to avoid any nasty surprises. However once the dust had settled we were left with a spare unit of a moderately sophisticated router, and I couldn't help looking for something to do with it.

(N.B.: The diagram was later enhanced by some helpful developers.) Later, someone asked a Charles a question about the Confluence architecture. He also answered with a helpful diagram.
