Author SSL Cert - DNS ERROR
Steve Santos

2004-09-22, 9:26 pm

I have installed an SSL Certificate on a Windows 2000 Server.

On the Default Web Site properties I add port 443 to the SSL Port but did
not require SSL for the etinre site.

On a sub folder I set Secure Communications to require SSL.

When attempting to connect to a web page on the sub folder with "http" I do
get the error message that "The page must be viewed over a secure channel"
HTTP 403.4 error message, that is good.

When I attemp to connect using "https" I get "The page you are looking for
is currently unavailable." page and at the botton of the page it reads
"Cannot find server or DNS Error - Internet Explorer"

If I remove SSL required I can connect to the page using "http".

Any advice to steer me in the right direction is apprciated.

Thanks,

Steve Santos

Hi Steve,

Run this tool on your server. It should tell you if there are any
configuration or certificate problems that you need to resolve.

Yes, I did run SSL Diags but have been unable to track down the mesage:
"#WARNING:Connecting to server: 0x274d (10061) " error that I get in several
areas.

The only different from the one above is in the ServerState:
"#WARNING:Incorrect SecureBindings"

Trying to track that down also.

check the ssl port binding again.. is it 443 ?

try
PRB: Error "Page Cannot Be Displayed" When You Connect Through HTTPS
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290391

HOW TO: Determine If SSL Connectivity Is Not Working on the Web Server or on
an Intermediate Device
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290051

"Cannot find server" or "DNS" Errors When Using SSL (Q & A)
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=292296

at command prompt, enter
"netstat -an", see anything binding on port 443 ?

anything in event log ?
