Re: SSL on IIS

Maybe I should re-phrase it;

I have several domains and WWW sites running on IIS v3.0 NT4sp3.

The main domain of the machine is www.xyz.com.au, one of the second domains
is www.def.com.au. I bought a secure certificate for www.def.com.au.

I installed the certificate, and assigned it to the same IP as
www.def.com.au, so as far as I am concerned, it is *NOT* attached to
www.xyz.com.au at all. Am I right at saying that ?

I assigned the secure certificate to a directory /secure.

If I use https://www.def.com.au/secure I get an error.

If I use https://www.xyz.com.au/secure it works

Would you expect this? I wouldn't.

Is it possible to get it to work with www.def.com.au, if so, what have I
done wrong and what do I need to do to correct this (Even if I must get
another cert)

Thanks
Darryl
