SUMMARY
After you install extensions to a Web server that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), you will see server extensions installed on two ports per virtual server. The default ports will be 80 and 443.



MORE INFORMATION
Port 443 is the default Secure Port, used to communicate on the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) of the World Wide Web. FrontPage installs extensions to port 443 on any server capable of communicating with SSL, except for Netscape servers on Windows NT. Regardless of whether you have enabled your server to listen on the secure port, the extensions for port 443 will be installed. There is no way to remove extensions from port 443 without also removing them from port 80 because both ports serve the same content and in fact are the same extensions.

The FrontPage Server Extensions for the following servers support SSL:   Microsoft Internet information Server O'Reilly & Associates' WebSite Pro Netscape Enterprise Server Netscape Commerce Server Note that due to architectural differences in the method by which the secure port is implemented on Netscape servers on Windows NT, port 443 is not installed by default. Netscape servers on UNIX do not exhibit this symptom.
