Re: SSL only

1 and 2 worked like a charm. Thanks.
I am not sure what you mean by 3 though.

This is a little convoluted but I think this would work.

1. Create a new site is IIS add the host header for the current site on port 80. Allow anonymous access to this site.
2. In IIS there is the option to have the site redirect to a different site. Configure the port 80 site to redirect to the SSL site.
3. In central admin make sure the SSL site is not responding to port 80.

If this happens to work please post back. Also be sure your security settings in IE are set to login with current user name and password if the computers are part of the same domain.

I created a site and then added a certificate for SSL. I changed the URL to be https. All this is working however when a person doesn't specify https:// they default tn http:// and are asked to authenticate. This first authenticaion is done over port 80 IE not encrypted. They are then directed to the 443 and everything from then on is fine.

Any ideas on how I can redirect them to 443 first and THEN prompt for credentials?

FireFox users actually get two prompts, one for each address (80 and then 443)
