Re: Problems opening asp.net page with https

ok.
but then how do I make my selfssl generated certificate work in my live
environment? afterall, the visitors do not know my machine name, but my
domain name.
please do not concern about security implications, I know there are some by
doing this. I just need to know how to set up my selfssl in my live
webserver

any ideas?

the common name in the certificate must match the DNS name that is used to
access the server.

Otherwise you will get an security warning -

remember that SSL is an authentication protocol - and the identity
information of the server is its common name - so the browser checks
common name = server name in my URL textbox


you when you request a cert, you have to choose the name that will be used
later to access the server

hi,

what should I configure in the IIS 6.0 to make my asp.net page being
opened only under https?

I created a certificate for test using the SelfSSL utility. SelfSSL
/v:180 (expiraton date for 180 days)

Then I installed in the IIS6 and all ok. I went to IIS and right click
the
page and set the flag to use https.
Now, I can open the page using https://localhost/mypage.aspx but I can
not
do this if I type https://www.mydomain.com/mypage.aspx
Any setting I must verify in the IIS?
Thanks
Joao
