iis security : Setup of SSL

Hi,

i was able to get my SSL on port 443 to run just fine.
But on setup i found i cant remove port 80 from the side
or at least have some kind of port nbr there. I want to
disable that users can view content without using SSL.

I know i can do that with using a port other then 80 and
then block it on the firewall or write some ASP code but
there should be a easyer way to force get this done.

Any hints or pointers to resources are welcome

Thanks

Alex

Alex,

Read the Enforce SSL Connections sections of this KB article :

HOW TO: Enable SSL for All Customers Who Interact with Your Web Site
in Internet Information Services
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=298805

On the website's properties -> security tab -> in the SSL section click
"Edit", and there is an option to "require SSL"

Users who come in via http:// will get an error message (you can substitute
your own custom error message if you want, or a custom page that redirects
them to the secure site)

Cheers
Ken
