Hi,

Having a bit of a problem that perhaps someone
smarter/more experienced than I can shed some light on.

I have a web site that I have applied SSL to and am using
basic authentication so that I can talk to Exchange. I
have created a site that listens on port 80 for the host
header and redirects to the site with SSL on port 443. So
mysite.com -> junk on port 80 which is a permanent
redirect to https://mysite.com. I did this so that the
users don't have to authenticate twice due to the
following scenario - the user types in mysite.com which
requires authentication which then redirects to
https://mywebsite.com which requires authentication. I
couldn't find away around this barring having them type in
https://mysite.com, which was greeted with much dismay
from the user community.

So here's one of my problems. I can no longer talk to my
web project via Interdev. I get the following error:

"Unable to open Web project '/'. FrontPage is unable to
establish a secure connection with the server, because the
server's SSL certifiacte is either invalid, or issued by
an untrusted certificate authority."

So I attempted to create a new web project via IP address,
host header etcetera with the Connect using Secure Socket
Layer checked and it kicks back an error "Unable to
connect to web server https://mysite(or ip address).com"

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Miriam
