SSL/Certificates

Experts,

I am completely new to SSL enabled sites and am not a web developer so
bear with me if I do not relay the problem correctly the fist time. I have
a web site that uses integrated windows authentication to allow our remote
sales force into our cognos web page. I have been asked to set this site up
as a secure (ssl) site. I have created the crs and have received a
certificate via 3rd party and have successfully installed it on web server.
Our sales force is used to going to the non encrypted http site and I would
like to be able to automatically switch over to the secure https site. It
would be easier if I could accomplish this without having to handle every
remote user and update their favorite entry.

My second question is much more complex. I have enabled SSL and when I
go to the new https site I am prompted with our authentication box to log
on. However, when I key in my credentials it automatically forwards me to
the http login site and not the https login site. Is this something that is
hard coded into the web page to redirect to a hard coded http address? I
was under the assumption that once SSL was enabled on the site (and all
child objects) that it would continue to progress through the web pages
using https (encryption). I hope my explanation is sufficient to receive a
response.

Thanks in advance,
Carl.

Re: SSL/Certificates

Again, I'm very new and do not understand if that is a command inserted into
a web page or something I configure in IIS.

Re: SSL/Certificates

Thank you. I went to the site and found two articles both of which did not
actually have the information. One of the articles says:

Add the following code to an asp page; name the ASP page JumpSSL.asp and
save in the root folder of your web site (it must be within the web site
because we need to point the custom error to it as a URL)

But then directly after this line is nothing but a blank space. That FAQ
needs to be updated. If anyone has the code to direct I would appreciate
it.

Thanks again,
Carl.
