We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
If you have the Require Secure Channel option enabled for a Web site, and then change the IP or Port bindings of the associated Certificate in Key Manager, when you exit Key Manager, the Secure Communications dialog box still shows that SSL is required to access the resource, even though it is not.



CAUSE
There is no refresh of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in when you exit Key Manager.



RESOLUTION
To display the status correctly, close and re-open the Web Site Properties dialog box. The Require Secure Channel check box will then show the correct status.

After you change the bindings of a Certificate, Microsoft recommends that you check and configure SSL, and then browse to your site to ensure that SSL is working correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
