iis security : Turn Off SSL

When IIS 5 starts with the default settings, it listes on
ports 80 and 443. I have the ability to modify the IP
addresses and ports for non-secure communications but the
settings for the Secure identities are not enabled. I
have a separate web server which needs to run on port 443
using SSL. How do I keep IIS from taking this port by

Obviously I didn't check everywhere before posting and I
finally found the answer.

Without having to install a certificate, the steps to do
this are:

2. Change the secure binding so the server listens on a
port other than 443
for secure communications. To do this:
a. Open a command prompt and type: cd
\inetpub\adminscripts (or
\winnt\system32\inetsrv\adminsamples if you're running IIS
4):
b. Type: cscript adsutil.vbs set
w3svc/1/securebindings ":8000:" (you can
replace 8000 with any other port you choose)
c. Restart IIS.

Hello,
You are absolutely right!! Please refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290391 for more
info on how to modify that key. If you are not using SSL on a particular
site, you can leave the securebindings key empty.

Thanks,
