SSL Problems

[robc]

Hi,

I've installed a certificate for my domain of secure.mysite.com
I've added the identity pointing to my server IP for the host header of "secure.mysite.com"


if i use https://secure.mysite.com/dir
that i've enabeld ssl for I can't seem to browse it.
It comes up as page cannot be displayed. But if i drop the "s" and just use http, i get the proper error that I must browse using secure communications.

any ideas on why this might be happening?

"secure.mysite.com" resolves to my server IP...

any other settings i'm overlooking?

some information..
the folder i'm securing is a virtual dir under my website.

i ran a netstat -an,

it shows that it's listening but on the address of

Local
0.0.0.0

Foriedn
0.0.0.0

i have my site identity set to my server ip.

In the IIS MMC for this website have you selected the ip address? SSL required a dedicated ip address.

[robc]

yes. It's strange because I read a post from somone stating that host headers would not work with ssl... so that lead me to believe i needed to ask for a dedicated IP..

although I did see another article stating that someone had accomplished this with only 1 ip using subdomains such as secure.mydomain.com


i think i've figured it out. so we'll see. I'll post my outcome.

Thanks
