Hosting multiple IIS6 SSL sites

When replacing a certificate on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 webserver i encountered a problem that let only one SSL site run on IIS 6 (Internet Information Services). All others were stopped and couldn’t be started.

ThisSrv2003IIS6-SSLCertBlck is normal behaviour of IIS 6 if you set multiple sites on SSL port 443 while using the Internet Information Services (IIS) Management Console.

You can set multiple sites on SSL when using IIS6 if you run a script in a command prompt. This script needs to be run from c:\inetpub\adminscripts\ .

In the command prompt you type:

cscript adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/<SiteID>/SecureBindings “:443:<URL>”

You can find the SiteID in IIS when looking at the list of websites.

Thanks go out to Robert Beal for providing this solution.
