Javier,
I'm in the same situation. I have one SBS box with ISA 04 and one WS03 box
(web edition) on the network which is a dedicated web server. We want to
host multiple public domains on this server. Each website has the ability to
have a SSL cert installed for that site. From what I've read in T.
Schinder's ISA Server 04 book about creating web site publishing rules and
SSL web site rules is the SBS/ISA box has to have a copy of each Cert
installed which it basically (believe me I'm paraphrasing here) forwards to
the site once it picks up the hostheader information from the client. This
seems all good, but I am having trouble creating a NEW Listener for each
site because I get an error that says they can't have the same ports. So, do
I need to have each Listener set to a different port to work which matches
the SSL port set on the websites?
Thanks.
Hugh
