Author Running CMS 2002 on 443 instead of port 80

I am running CMS 2002 with a Public site running on port 80 and a
Private side running on 443. Our security requirements now prevent us
from using port 80 and I need to have both the Public and Private CMS
sites running through 443.

I have changed the Virtual Directories to require SSL but the site is
still not pulling up when trying to access through https:.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue is?

Hi Sue,

You could implement a HttpModule that checks if the current page is running
in a secure connection and if not redirects the user to the https:// site
url. This would be a modification of Stefan Goßner's CmsSslHttpModule
available on GotDotNet Samples
(http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/...04-2f06c5a52a89).

Regards,

William Cornwill

Hi Sue,

so you are now serving both sites through the same IIS website?
If not you will need two IP addresses as IIS host header mapping cannot be
used with SSL.
Please explain your config in more details.

Cheers,
Stefan

The current configuration of the site has a Public and a Private side
in different virtual directies Public on 80 and Private requiring SSL
through 443. I am using forms authentication for access to the Private
side. The CMS structure is identical on both Public and Private. I
need to have both be accessible only through port 443 due to recent
security directives. What is the best way to go about doing this?

Hi Sue,

if both are already running on the same website (which I assume as you just
mentioned different virtual directories and not different websites) you
should have everything you need.
Where is your problem with this setup? Both sites should already be working
correct on port 443.
Please explain in more details what kind of problems you experience.

Cheers,
Stefan
