SSL - How-to?`

[Edwin Knoppert]

Sorry, for most of you this could be trivial..
To me it's not.

We want to test a website being set to SSL.
We have several apps, we ONLY want ONE app being set to SSL.
The things i am running against:

1) RequireSSL="true" in web.config did not notify me about i have to use
https:

<authentication mode="Forms" >
<forms name="AuthCookie_app1"
protection="All"
loginUrl="login.aspx"
slidingExpiration ="true"
requireSSL="true"
/>
</authentication>

2) When i set IIS to use a aspx-file as https: i don't seem to get any
response.

3) I tried the internal IIS version on my client XP PC as well.

4) Since i wanted to test SSL, i read that SSL can not work with a
certificate.
(Not at all that is)
So i read about SelfSSL

We invoked this app but it's talking about replacing the existing
certificate!!
We aborted.

Is it possible i can this test this situation by simply copying a
certificate to a specific folder?

Can someone tell me the logical steps to do this test.
This might be local but i ever had ASP.NET running properly, but for some
dumb reason it does no longer run my asp.net apps.
I never use IIS on my local PC, VWD provides it's own.

I prefer to make it work on our webserver without messing up existing apps.
The app i'm talking about is a test app only.

Thanks,

Well, we dared to use the tool anyway.
We seem to have a certificate.
Seems IIS on my local PC is messed up (metabase errors???)
