ssl and asp.net
-
Hi all. I had an existing asp.net project and then I decided I wanted to try using ssl. So I created a self signed certificate (it's only for testing purposes) and got it to work, with handling custom errors, directing webrequests to the right place and all that. So far so good. Then I had to restart my computer for other reasons and before I was able to reopen my asp.net-project in Visual Studio (.NET 2003), I had to change in the .sln file and the .csproj.webinfo file from http:// to https:// . No big deal but I feel there has to be a way to do this from within Visual Studio. Does anyone know? Thanks /EnkelIk

Hi , I am sorry.. I cannot give you any answer to your question as i don't know much about this. Infact the reason why I am mailing you is that soon one of our applications in ASP.NET might start getting some money handling capability and we were thinking of looking into SSL to encrypt our pages BEFORE we start this thing. But as we have never had any previous experience with this i was thinking if you could tell me a good place to look around for information about what needs to be done,what resources are needed and so on. Regards , Pradhip.S If a Building is Completed then why do they call it BUILDING ??

Hi Pradhip! There is a lot of information out there, an article that helped me very much is http://www.dylanbeattie.net/docs/openssl\_iis\_ssl\_howto.html -it has a thorough step-by-step guide, it also links to some interesting Microsoft-pages. Maybe it is a bit too specific for self-signed certificates for your needs, but I think it might be a good start even if you are planing to have a proper CA-signed certificate. Thanks /EnkelIk
