The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

URGENT - HTTPS Security Certificate Issues

Asked by peh803 in Microsoft IIS Web Server, E-Commerce

Tags: channel, directory, requires, secure, certificate

Hello all, and thanks for taking time to view this question.

I am having issues with a verisign security certificate that I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to apply to one of our production servers.  Here are some of the things I've tried, and the results I've had:

1.) right click on "default web site" and go to properties --> directory security --> server certificate.  Then, to apply the cert, I go through the IIS certificate steps, select the correct cert and proceed from there.  
2.) Now, I can see that the cert is now active.  I can click "view certificate" and see all the certificate details.  Since I want to enable the security certificate and require SSL communications, I go to "Edit" and check the top checkbox: "Require secure channel (SSL)"
The other settings on the screen are "Ignore client certificates" (radio button that is checked).  All other options are left blank.

When I do this, I try to access my page again, and of course it tells me:
---
Secure Channel Required

This Virtual Directory requires a browser that supports the configured encryption options.
---

Okay -- so then I looked it up and found that this error is error number 403.4 to IIS.  So, I tried placing a custom page there that grabs any form data and / or querystring data and posts it to the https:// page.  My two problems follow:

1.) The redirect page in the "custom errors" on IIS for 403.4 does not fire when the error occurs.  Instead I get the above mentioned error.
2.) Even if the 403.4 page DID work, when I try to navigate to my site via "https://mysite.mydomain.suffix" I get the dreaded "page cannot be displayed" error.  Yes, I have friendly HTTP error messages disabled under tools --> internet options...

Thanks to anyone who might be able to help!!

Best Regards,
peh803
