Re: force https on wss site

Yup. You set it per web application (that includes extended web app).

If you are creating a new web app, you can enable SSL in GUI. That'll
create the corresponding IIS Web Site in a stopped state (so it won't be
accessible yet). Then you go into IIS, and set up SSL.

Then start the web app and all should be well.

If you have an existing web app, you just add an HTTPS address to the web
application's alternate access mappings (if you want force it, make HTTPS
the default zone address and make sure there is no other way to get to the
web app without HTTPS), then go into IIS and set up SSL for the Web Site
there.

It's weird. When I was first starting out with WSS 3 I was told that you
can't just go into IIS and start messing around, that you first have to make
sure that you set it up in WSS, then go to IIS. But in the case of SSL,
there is no way, after creating the web app, to go back in and tell WSS
explicitly that you want to use SSL now. So in that case, you just have two
steps, setup SSL in IIS, and add a HTTPS address to AAM.

Mak sense?
