Gateway Problems "Redirection limit for this URL..."

I have a portal server installed on a separate box from the gateway. The portal server starts and runs fine. The portal gateway, however, seems to start up fine, and I can get to the portal server DSAME login, however, when I try to login, I get this message: "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page." (Mozilla1.1 delivers this message. IE may deliver a different message...).

When I try to stop and start the gateway, I get the same message, thereafter, even just trying to access the gateway login page, until I stop an start the portal server, then the problem "resets itself"

I also notice a large number (10-20) of established or timeout connections exist between the gateway and the portal server when I run netstat -a

Is this just a configuration problem?

Yep. You gatevay can not validate user's session. Check your log files for reasons.

Ensure that you have right protocol/servername/port-number in AMConfig.properties on gateway and they are not blocked by firewall. Also add certificate trust chain from your Portal server to gateway.
