First Time With Ssl And Certificates

[iphonogasm]

HAHA ive been chatting to them online live for the last 3 nights :(

 

Latest Update: I have converted the CRT to a CER using notepad (save as) apparently this was fine, and when importing into IIS using "Complete Certificate Request" the certificate imports and all, however when i click away from the "Server Certificates" section within the IIS Snap-In console, the certificate disappears.

 

Then i cant assign it to my binding. Then i return to the "Server Certificates" section" and the cert. is gone.

 

:( AHHHHHH

[iphonogasm]

please help with this guys!

 

I cannot get a PFX, and if i do an import using the "Complete Cert. Request" it appears in the "Server Certificates" section of IIS but then when i click away it disappears!

 

Thanks!

Tell me where you have problems.

[iphonogasm]

i only appear to download in p7s and cer formats.

 

Thanks

[ICTCity]

Well the cer format should work...

[iphonogasm]

sorry i mean i can only download in crt and p7s

[ICTCity]

I just tried here at work... I downloaded the CRT file and imported to IIS with no problem...

Thats really odd because its asking specifically for tge format (*.cer) and i cannot view any other formats. CER is the only format to choose from when browsing for the file

[ICTCity]

But you have the .CRT file? If yes you can easily import it by following the procedure described in the link.

[iphonogasm]

Yea now i have a problem saying there is no matching request found....

[ICTCity]

Repeat the process, create a new request.

[iphonogasm]

Ok. Ive done this using the steps below

I hope the photos are ok, they were taken from my phone

 

Cheers

You must talk again with the provider of your cert. Usually when you create a new request, you enter all these things and the your receive a crt file.

[iphonogasm]

im so friggin angry right now

 

got it working.... turns out its the damn error BSchwarz warned me about when importing the cert.

 

But it should be working at https://megahosting.co.nz

 

also, how to i force the HTTP to redirect or to use HTTPS instead?

 

Thanks again guys :)

[ICTCity]

it works )

 

You have the choice:

[iphonogasm]

Thanks. Ive looked at a few redirection options.

 

I have 2 questions. I am not getting an error 403.4 when using HTTP, guessing this is because i have no error page configured for it?

 

Also, i tried to paste the tags and info into the XML however it had no previous RULE tags so i was unsure where to put this?

 

I screwed the XML putting it at the bottom after configuration close tag. Had to go back and revert changes before i could use IIS management console with that site!

 

Thanks!

[ICTCity]

Depends on how you configure IIS, if the HTTP is available you don't have error. If you force SSL on HTTP you will have :)

 

No problem, place the rule in the "middle".

[iphonogasm]

no go :(

 

my XML

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

URL Rewrite installed and Require SSL unticked!

[iphonogasm]

also tried step 2 and when i get to step 10 i get the error "Lock Violation"

[ICTCity]

it's "working" when you try to access the site via http you have a 404 (not found) and when you access the https it redirects to a 404 eheheh

 

Check where you putted the rule )

[iphonogasm]

lol im trying step 2 now, got past the Lock Violation, had to remove a line in applicationHost.config,

 

but its still not redirecting to https, im working between the 2 to see which i can get working.

 

Heres my redirect page.

 

 

Redirecting...

 

function redirectHttpToHttps()

{

var httpURL= window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname + window.location.search

var httpsURL= "https://megahosting.co.nz" + httpURL

window.location = httpsURL

}

redirectHttpToHttps()

[ICTCity]

Make it easy. Force SSL on http, the on error page redirect to HTTPS )

[iphonogasm]

ive tried this using step 2 of the article..

 

But im getting error 404. When its telling me to redirect error 403.4

[ICTCity]

Are you setting the REQUIRED SSL on the right place? On HTTP set 404 error to HTTPS and now should work.

[iphonogasm]

i dont think my ssl cert has installed properly.

 

Added the HTTP binding at port 80

Enabled Require SSL

 

when i visit http://megahosting.co.nz the page is blank,

 

however there is no error page configured for 403.4

 

when i configure one to redirect to the HTM page to redirect to HTTPS doesnt work
