Hi there,

I am using IIS 5.0 - downloaded a trial version of the
Verisign certificate - applied the server id to the
virtual site: /SSL_TEST_SITE, SSL enabled - CA Root
imported to a client IE 5.0 web browser.

On client IE 5.0 web browser, I typed in :
http://SSL_TEST_SITE/index.html ==> results with error
message that site is secured and requires https: (which
is good since the site is SSL secured now)

I typed this and received an error :

https://SSL_TEST_SITE/index.html ==> results in
Error: ''HTTP Error 403 - 403.4 Forbidden: SSL required''

Any suggestion as to why the https:... failed to launch
the file.
