    Can someone please help me.

    I have purchased a certificate for verisign and installed on IIS 5.
    when i attempt to goto the website http://servername I receive my
    default web page. However when i type in https://servername. I
    receieve the dreaded 'The page cannot be displayed' error. I have the
    port set for 443 on the iis server. so why is it not listening? Is
    there something i have to turn on. If the Common Name on the cert is
    not correct would that keep the server from responding to https
    requests?

    I have reviewed the steps on how to install the cert and then set the
    website to require SSL but i do not want to do that until i know i
    have the SSL working. I am a little worried that the Cert may not have
    the correct information on it.

    Here is the exact scenario, When the original IT person installed the
    network they named it accounting as the domain name. Well the problem
    is that our company name is not accounting but let's say it is
    abc.com. The only way to receive web requests from ABC.com was to
    setup the DNs entry that pointed to the outside of the firewall and
    then setup static port forwards that point all data sent to
    https://abc.com to go to the cpr_Server (server name) on port 443. So
    when i created the cert i had to give it a common name of cpr_server.
    Since i could not name it abc.com. Was this correct? Should i name it
    cpr_server@accounting.com?? or do i just have a setting incorrect on
    the iis server?

    Thanks in advanced for any assistance you can offer!!!
