Open the "Web Site" properties of the site in question, to the right of the IP Address filed , click the "Advanced" button, Select "Default" in the top section "Multiple idnetities for this Web Site" and click the "Remove" button.

This removes the binding for port 80 from the site, leaving only SSL on 443.

Subject: force https


Hello,

I have a web-based frontend for an application that
users will be accessing.  It can use http or https.  I
would like to allow only https.  This is a more
relaxed company so it will be harder to enforce a
management policy (as in dont do this do this) so I
would like to enforce this through the use of
techonlogy.  I know i could set a router acl to permit
only https to the server but this seems kind of like a
kludge (first off it wont prevent people on the same
subnet from doing what they want).  How can I
configure IIS to only except https connections?

Thx,

Leon
