I am trying to test SSL on my company web site. I went to http://sectest.rte.microsoft.com
and got a test certificate. I exported the certificate to my hard drive, enabled SSL on IIS 5.0, and now when I go to the site I get the security screen warning me that I'm about to enter a secure site, when I click ok I get "Page cannot be displayed"
I have tried everything I can think of, checked IE5 advanced security settings. Made sure IIS was set correctly. What could I be missing or am I going about this the wrong way? Any assistance would be greatly appreaciated

To verify that your IIS is running with SSL
enabled try with "netstat -an |more" and
you will know if it is listening to port 443.
If it?s not, try installing your own Certificate Authority and creating your own
certificate with Certification Authority Services.
Also your could try disabling authentication
using "Allow anonymous" only. And enbale authentication later.
If your server is connected to Internet you
could go to http://www.netcraft.com/sslwhats/
and get your server tested.
If it is working properly you will know which
protocols and ciphers it is supporting.
I hope this helps.

PS:TYPO correction "enbale" to "enable".
