SSL on IIS7

Hi there,

I'm about to enable SSL on my website, but need to know one thing for sure before I do it. Does the http (port 80) stops working afterwards? I need both protocols to be working (both http AND https)

//Casper J

 

Both HTTP and HTTPS will be working.

 

Is there a way to force only https connections?

 

You can use the IIS 7 Manager > SSL settings > Require SSL check box.

Then select Error Pages > Add > enter status code "403.4".

You can then choose to display a static error message or redirect.

 

I tried that but all the options appear to be disabled (for SSL Settings). On the right hand corner there is an alert with the following: "This feature has been locked and is read only." I thought maybe this was controlled by the host.

Any thoughts as to why that would be disabled? Thanks.

 

What is your domain name ?
