Gabriel, There isn't any reason why you can't run IIS 4, so feel free to stick with it.
>From my perspective... if you know you want a real SSL certificate, no point in wasting your time with a free trial certificate. If you are concerned about setting it up correctly, however, you might find it is good practice and doesn't cost you anything. I found a few great tutorials on setting up the SSL certs on IIS: Microsoft: - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com: 80/support/kb/articles/Q218/4/45.ASP&NoWebContent=1 (Windows NT specific) - http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/iis/default.asp?url=/WINDOWS2 000/en/server/iis/htm/core/iisslsc.htm (Windows 2000 specific) Non-Microsoft: - http://www.devhood.com/tutorials/tutorial_details.aspx?tutorial_id=209 If you work through these and you are still having any problems, please let me know and I'll do my best to walk you through things myself. -- Jillian > -----Original Message----- > From: Gabriel Robichaud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: June 18, 2003 12:37 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: SSL, Cold Fusion > > > We are running IIS 4 but that isnt set in stone if that is > problematic. > so as you can guess we are on a windows environment.
