I re-read my original post and I realized that I left out something in my description. Nothing is is to be accessed from the non-SSL side of things. This is for a subdomain (call it store.myserver.com). Everything should pass through the SSL side. Right now, if a user types in http://store.myserver.com/ they would get an error page stating:
***** The page must be viewed over a secure channel... try typing in https... yada yada yada HTTP 403.4 - Forbidden: SSL required Internet Information Services ***** What we want is to avoid having any user from every seeing this error message. I thought that the solution would be to have a default page set up for http://store.myserver.com which would contain a redirect to https://store.myserver.com/main.taf but I can't seem to be able to set up http://store.myserver.com. I just solved my own problem although it might not be the best solution. I simply added the redirect to the 403-4.htm file which I found in winnt\help\iishelp\common. If anyone knows of a reason why I shouldn't modify that file, please let me know.
