Hi Gerald,
Thanks for the bit of information as it never crossed my mind that without SSL
installed usernames and passwords are sent in clear text format.
Actually the site is more broken with the SSL enabled then it is without it. So
I am not too worried as it changing to a different front-end/back-end within
the coming months which will switch back to using SSL. It's more important if
people can access the site correctly now then to have them calling us everyday
asking what's wrong, and yes we are aware the trade off it has, but since the
site doesn't contain and personal or confidential information we are not too
worried about.
Regards,
Andrew

How are you connecting then?
https:// is for SSL.
http:// does not use SSL or the certificate you just installed.
I hope you're not planning on authenticating users over just an http
connection: the username and password will be sent in clear text that anyone
can grab should they be listening.
Cordially yours,

I figured it out.. After I exported the SSL cert to pfx on IIS6 and imported it
into ISA I was able to surf to the site, however I had enabled SSL on the
webpage and for some reason it was telling me I had to https:// to the site
which I was doing, as soon as I removed the (required SSL) from the web site I
was able to access it. Then I applied the html I had to redirect the site back
to http. (grin)
Thanks for those who helped I really do appreciate it!
Regards,
Andrew
