I generated a CSR file t request my SSL certificate but I only had a defualt
web site at the time of request. I have recevived the certifcyte. Do I wait
for the new site to be created before installing the certifacate or do I
install it now. I'm wondering If the instructions I had were worng and I had
to actual create the website prior to geneting the csr for verisign.
Hi George,
There are a couple of different answers, but I would go ahead and install
the certificate on the default site's CSR. Then setup the new site that you
want to use this certificate for. When you click 'Server Certificate' for
this new site, select 'Assign an existing certificate' and select the
appropriate certificate from the list. Then afterward, go back into the
default site and remove the certificate from the site.

We just setup the new website in defualt site and changed the name. I need
to only allow communication to this web site via SSL over 443. Is this
something that can be done in IIS or on the server?
I know i can setup an ACL on my router to only allow SSL but was wondering
ig this could be don on the server side instead?

Yes, when you go to the properties for the site, click the 'Directory
Security' tab, then Edit down near the bottom right. You will see there is
a check box where you can Require secure channel (SSL). That will only
allow traffic to the site coming in through https://. If you don't want
users to see the message that https: is required when they go to the site
using http://, then you could setup a second site that allows all traffic
for the site, and redirects to the https:// url.

How would I setup the redirect to the https site?

Actually, now that I think about it more, you can't setup the redirect like
that. You would need to use one of a few other options such as a refresh
through the meta tag, capturing the http header in code and rewriting it, or
a third part program to redirect the site.
I don't know what I was thinking in my earlier reply. Someone must have
spiked my coffee.
