Brandon,
Say your non-secure site is at "www.mysite.com". Is your certificate issued
for "www.mysite.com" or some other host name like "secure.mysite.com"?
In IIS, have you set up two distinct virtual sites, or do you merely have
both port 80 and port 443 enabled for a single virtual site?
I've found the easiest way to work with SSL is to simply have the cert
issued for the standard domain name "www.mysite.com". Then content can be
served using either http or https.

> I am going to be a complete heel and ask a few questions about SSL to
those who seem to work with it quite a bit in real world scenarios. I
haven't had to implement an SSL-protected site or templates in some time and
seem to be stumbling when trying to implement a strategy to begin.

store user data and the like using CF and SQL Server. I am in the process
of "securing" the pages using SSL but have been having problems getting
started.

> Is there any way I can use a directory to house both secure and non-secure
forms and call them merely using https instead of http?

> I am having the worst time in trying to get even a page to show up using
IIS's "directory security" using an SSL key pointed to an IP using the
secured directory. There always seems to either be a page not found error
or a SSL protected page error. Any help at all in getting any or all of
these issues ironed out would be extremely useful, as I did not think it
would take much time at all to roll out a secured version of the templates I
had already written....which may be an extremely huge misguided thought.

these up in general? I have scoured the Microsoft site to no avail, and
there is not much better info available from Allaire, it seems. Thanks a
ton for the vine...and any help you may send my way.
