Hi, im running Windows 2012 R2 with IIS 8.5. i have created a virtual directory on my IIS and enabled SSL just for the Virtual Directoty. I have disabled anonmous authentication and enabled basic.<br />
If i connect directoy to the VD over HTTPS it askes for a username and password, which if i enter it allows me access.<br />
<br />
I have a netscaler VPX appliance configured as a Load blancer and SSL offloader. i have a service configured on the netscaler which accepts port 80 &amp;&nbsp;443 and forwards the traffic to the IIS server in question so at the moment a direct 1:1 relationship.<br />
<br />
The issue is that if i try and access the VD via the netscaler i just get a 403 forbidden. looking at the IIS logs i can see the connection between netsclaner and the IIS server is over port 80 and not 443 and im guessing that the Netscaler is offloading the 443 peice.<br />
<br />
any ideas on how to acheive this as the website itself is set up as standard port 80, its only the VD which requires port 443.<br />
<br />
thanks

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.

SSL / HTTPS
