Set your SSL port in IIS as you like then in IE enter only
http://server:SSL_port/virtual... or
https://server/virtual but not https://server:port/virutal.

I can understand that you don't want to give out SSL port for security
reason, but also note that it is very easily to figure out on what ports
your servers listens on...

I hope this helps,
