A few questions...
1) I have set up a virtual directory under the default web site called
Acuity that points to my web application. I have setup up the Acuity
directory to 'require Secure channel' on the 'Directory Security' tab after
Rclicking on Acuity and choosing properties. I am noticing that I can get
into the site EITHER via http or https. However, If I setup the 'Require
Secure Channel' setting on the default web site, I can only get in via
https. How do I configure IIS to apply SSL to only Acuity instead of the
Default Web Site???

2) After getting Acuity to be SSL enabled, How do I set it up so that if a
person tries to Access Acuity via http, IIS redirects them into https. For
example, http://localhost/Acuity gets redirected to https://localhost/Acuity
