It turns out that W2000 can act as a Certificate Authority and can generate certificates and keys.

I created a certificate, installed it to a site, and selected Require Secure Channel.

When I try to access the site with http:// I get a message suggesting that the site is secure and needs to be accessed with [....] This is good. However, when I use https:// I get a Page Can not be displayed error.

The browser is set to use SSL. I am trying to do this from the local machine, but that shouldn't matter. Are the ports different for SSL? Does it not come in on port 80 anymore?

I could use some help on this one.

Thanks all.

Figured it out. SSL needs port 443 enabled, and it doesn't work with host header names (on IIS). Each individual SSL site needs it's own IP address.
