I have netstorage up and running. Before I send out instructions to my
users I wanted to first enable ssl for netstorage access. I would like to
totally eliminate non-ssl connections as well. Is there a whitepaper out
there for doing this?

Just remove port 80 from the listen line in the conf file.

Or block port 80 from the outside to that server.

Makes sense. How about the process of creating a certificate for the
webserver and applying it to the netstorage page? I am new to this
process and was hoping to find a walkthrough.

Thanks,
Jake

You apply it to Apache and there should be one there already.

OK, when I go to "https://ipaddress" I get the default website with a ssl
connection. When I go to http://ipaddress/onenet/netstorage I
get "object not found." When I go to "http://ipaddress/onenet/netstorage"
the netstorage page comes up as expected. Any ideas?

I assume https is one of the above. Probably the non-working one?

The correct link is:

https://<ip>/oneNet/NetStorage

Note capitalisation.

Thanks Gustafsson. That works!

OK, I am familiar with host headers on a IIS server. How can I accomplish
this with Apache behind a firewall. I am going to create a DNS entry with
our isp as follows: myfiles.domain.com

Whenever anyone hits that domain name it will direct it to my public ip,
my firewall will allow port 443 to my internal apache server. What do I
need to put on my apache server so that myfiles.domain.com will go to the
https://ipaddress/oneNet/NetStorage header?

Thanks,
Jake
