iis security : 403 (Forbidden) after setting up SSL Redirect

I've gone through the steps of redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS for OWA as
outlined in KB-839357. I've checked, rechecked, and checked again that all
steps were followed but I still get:

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
You are not authorized to view this page

My head hurts from banging it on this brick wall. Please help!

Hi,

Are you using IIS 6.0? Can you check the HTTP substatus code in the IIS
logfiles please (it is, by default, the field immediately after the HTTP
status which will have "403" logged)

Otherwise, if you are using a previous version of IIS, it might not be
obvious why you are getting this error. Is it possible that you have
"require SSL' checked for your custom error page? Or is it possible that the
user account in question (usually the anonymous internet user) doesn't have
NTFS permissions to the file in question?

Cheers
Ken

Yes, sorry, IIS 6. I hope this is what you're referring to:

2006-03-27 17:17:04 W3SVC1 ###.###.###.### POLL /exchange/UserName/Inbox -
80 - ###.###.###.### Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.0) 403 4
5

Thanks for trying to help

403.4 - SSL required.
your redirect is not sent to https?
the request is done via port 80.... so it is only http/

Well, the URL is requiring SSL but you went over HTTP, so 403.4 is correctly
returned.

Did you make sure that the URL Custom Error configured for that 403.4 does
NOT require SSL? Because then that would be catch 22 - You came in on HTTP
to an SSL-only URL, so a 403.4 is sent... but to see the 403.4, you also
need SSL...
