HTTPS problems with IIS 6.0

I am unable to get https working on my IIS 6.0 setup.

At the moment i've got a very basic setup as below;

Using standard IIS 6.0 on windows 2003 server

Index.html viewable via port 80

Im trying to get SSL working, but can't work out the problem.

I have created a certificate using the microsoft certificate services, and ran the wizard under ISM -> website -> properties -> server cert and imported it.

I have opened 443 for SSL connections.

I can still get to the http page. But anytime I try to connect via the https, I get "page cannot be displayed"

If I select "require SSL for connections", then try the http page, I get the 403.4 error, and same "page cannot be displayed" through https....

Im not having any luck, can someone add some imput / suggestions?

Im browsing through http://localhost and remotely.

Thanks!

Hello,

Kindly note that SSL require dedicated IP address and you have to move your domain on dedicated IP address and also set port: 443 for your domain from IIS.

Hi Innovative2000,
Thanks for the response. We have the following setup in place;

2 servers, identical in specs, OS etc.

Bother have fixed public IP's, and as well, they have share another public ip address used for network load balancing.

At the moment, im just trying to configure 1 server, and trying to create a SSL connection direct to its own ip e.g. https://202.x.x.x

Additionally, I have rebooted the server after the config change as referenced as a possible fix. No change.

What role does the domain name play in the SSL connection?

if I have a public fixed IP, I still should be able to SSL to that ip in a browser window if I have IIS setup with a index page shouldnt I?

Anyone else notice anything im doing wrong?

Appreciate the help.

In IE uncheck the "show friendly http errors" setting, maybe you'll see a more helpful error message.

Hi there,
Does anyone else have any feedback or suggestions for me?

Appreciate it
