Yes it is possible to change the port, but port scanners can detect more
than just port 80 and 443.  If you can get your users to use the new port is
could work for you.  To change the port change it in the IIS Manager.  It is
on the Properties page on the Default Web site.  It says "SSL port".  

If I did a port scan on 8090 against your server I would know that you are
an IIS server however...

Subject: Changing the default SSL port OWA/IIS 2003 are listening (Front End
Server)

Hi

Is it possible to change the default SSL port that OWA/IIS is listening
?
Exemple :

1.if the OWA/IIS Front End is listeing on port 8090
2. Hacker scan the internet and do not find nything on port 80  and 443.
And the firewall do sendback icmp packet (reply)
3. corporate users to reach OWA type owa.somefqdn.com  and another web
server  receive  that request "owa.somfwdn.com" and redirect to 
https://owa.company.com:8090 (   8090 would be the ssl port) on the real
owa server


My goal is to hide the OWA/IIS existence from any hacker scanning
everything... If I don't do that, my customer owa 2003 is ending in a
DMZ(perimeter network ;-)  )  , without rpc access to the private
network (we can't allow that) and I must allow anonymous or malformed
request  from the Front End  to reach the Back End server (on the real
network !   )
