Using Https protocol

[Raju3784]

Hi Anusha,

Can you please tell me in detail, how could you create a self signed certificate to enable SSL?

Currently our web application which is running on IIS 6.0 and it has been developed using Microsoft Technologies like ASP and VBScript. Currently it is running on http protocol. However, we need to migrate this application to run on https protocol. Kindly advise us on the same.

Please let me know, if you have any questions.

Hi

I need to adopt https as preferred protocol.I have installed Apache and created a self signed certificate to enable SSL.

Is this enough to automatically take the url typed by the user (hitting my applications) starting with "Http" and convert it to "Https".

For example: if the user types "http:\\www.myA pp\test". will this url be automatically redirected to "https:\\www.myA pp\test".

If not what are the requirements for doing this.

Thanks & Regards
Anusha

Take a look at the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit. It includes a tool called SelfSSL which should give a self signed certificate.

Once you have a certificate, you will need to load it up in IIS. There are a number of configuration options related to SSL, the main ones you will want are the certificate itself, the use SSL and the SSL port.
