When I create a self signed SSL certificate with IIS 7.5 I can connect to the site from the local server and from other computers on the windows domain.<br />
<br />
However when I connect externally I get a SSL connection error in IE/FireFox/Chrome<br />
<br />
Chrome: Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERR<wbr />OR): SSL protocol error.<br />
<br />
FireFox: SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_lo<wbr />ng)<br />
<br />
IE: Connection Error<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
