Posts: 321                I have a web app working fine on http but I want it 
to secure the connection with https. But if I change the address to https it 
doesn't find the app and an error page is displayed. The app is running as a 
web service, currently on port 80. For https I know it needs to be on port 443. 
Will changing the port to 443 fix this problem? I still need the app to work if 
they go to port 80 though and I obviously don't want to run two instances of 
the app.

Apache2 to make it work.
Maybe this would help a bit? http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/349
But, if you don't want your users to accept an "insecure certificate" every 
time you app is accessed you'll need to buy an SSL certificate from an SSL 
authority and those do not come cheap  

Example: http://www.digicert.com/wildcard-ssl-certificates.htm

Getting a paid SSL certificate isn't a problem (the company I work for will 
take care of those costs). I'm also using a windows server not an apache one. 
Any advice on settings this up for windows? I have the server ensure the 
application is running even if no one is logged in and it relaunches the app if 
it crashes. But switching the URL to https brings up a webpage not found error.

Don't think SSL is doable with those :/

but it seems you'll have to wait for 2012r2 if you can't change to a CGI build 
:/
