We have set up SSL on our Win2K, IIS 5.0 server.

On the Directory Security tab, we are unable to open Edit
for the Secure Communications properties.

The server is listening on port 443; HTTPS is working on
the server thru a test of a web page; and the SSL
Diagnostics tool does not show any errors. So basically SSL
runs but we're unable to change the properties, and we need
to set up one folder to require authentication to our
domain.

We have removed and reinstalled our certificate and the
port 443 config several times, but still can't edit the
Secure Comunication properties.

I tend to think we have a corrupted Metabase (although all
other IIS properties are accessible) but am looking for
ideas.

Hello,
As long as you have a certificate bound to the site, you should be able to
click on the Edit button at the site, virtual directory level and page
level. Is the Edit button disabled? Do you see any warnings or errors in
the Event logs corresponding to when you try to click on the Edit button
(if it is enabled)?

Can you also go ahead and register the following files:
C:\WINNT\System32\inetsrv\cnfgprts.ocx

C:\WINNT\system32\olepro32.dll

C:\WINNT\system32\rasadhlp.dll

C:\WINNT\System32\inetsrv\certwiz.ocx

C:\WINNT\System32\certcli.dll

C:\WINNT\System32\schannel.dll

C:\WINNT\System32\inetsrv\certmap.ocx

C:\WINNT\System32\iismap.dll

Here's a KB article that talks about this :

Hope this helps!!!
