angula Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I'm an idiot. What's required (the components involved) in receiving HTTPS posts to my server? For example, an application is going to post back to my server URL https://www.somesite.com/postback.aspx. Is there some administrative work to be done with IIS or is it a completely new install of an additional application which gives me encryption capability? Thanks. Quote
kahlua001 Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Typically, you need to buy a SSL Certificate from a CA Authority like verisign or thawte, which needs to be installed on your server. If you can get one for free, even better, but then the client might not recognize these companies, so there might be a trust issue, but if its for internal use then who cares. Quote
markcastle Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 If it's only for internal / dev use, then you can create your own certs using Certificate Services. Otherwise you need to use a cert from the likes of instantssl.com, thawte etc. Quote
