Hi there,

i have a big problem and i did not find a solution so here is my last hope.

I have a windows server 2003 with IIS6.
There i have a virtual Host with host headder kb.koou.at
I want to secure this whol virtual host and so i created a certificate and
installed it on the website.
If i use http:// everything works fine, i can brows the website.
Now i tested it using https:// now there comes the warning that the
certificat is not from a trusted...but that is ok so far, i then click on
continuing browsing this website an then the windows Box comes where i can
put in Username and passord. (I do not understand why this is comming up) an
even if i use the administrators Username and Password, i get a Error Page
with Error 403 Forbidden.
No there is no 403.x, its only the 403 Error.
The website is online, who wants to test it please try with and without
using https.

Please can anyone help me fixing this problem.

Kind Regards

You say you have a virtual host - is there a site running on the IP address
(default site, no host header) that requires logging in? You can't use SSL
with a "virtual host" as the SSL handshaking is done before the Host: header
is passed by the browser, so the initial connection handling is done using
the credentials of the "default" site. I've tried your host name via https
and I get no connection at all.
