Hey Folks,

Windows 2000 SP2, critical updates, IIS5.0, Certificate Server.

Ok... on my previous NT4, IIS4.0 server I had created a Certificate Server
only for the purposes of using SSL.  I was able to create keys and setup SSL
for Web Security.  When a user connected... if they didn't have the
certificate they could just say they trusted the site and get on in with no
problems.  They could also download and install the certificate and no
problems.

NOW... under IIS5.0 and WIN2K I have proceeded to setup an identical
feature.  I installed Certificate Server and made it a Root Certificate
Server... I believe it was called standalone... not Enterprise.  Anyway, I
then went to the main Web Server entry in the Internet Services and went to
the Directory Security tab and clicked the Server Certificate.  I followed
the wizard and said assign an existing certificate which it showed me.  This
was the main certificate created when installing Certificate Server.

I then went to the subweb/folder that I wanted to make SSL and went to its
properties, Directory Security and clicked the Edit button in the Secure
Communications group.  I check the SSL (not 128bit) and save everything.

At this point I should be able to get to that site with
https://www.mysite.com/folder .  However I keep getting the following error:

The page cannot be displayed 
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be
experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser
settings. 

Now if I uncheck the SSL box and access it with http://www.mysite.com/folder
it works like a champ.  

What could be causing this problem??  Does SSL have some sort of problem I
am un-aware of?

Thanks ... again if this is not the proper list, please direct me to one
that would be.
