Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration

This dialog box is used to add additional identities to your Web site. Click the Add, Remove, or Edit buttons to change the identities listed. Each Web site must have a unique combination of identification characteristics. Therefore, while multiple Web sites can share two of their three identification characteristics, (domain or host header name, IP address, and port), they must have one characteristic that is different. Also, because SSL certificates contain the domain name in them, Web sites using certificates cannot share an IP address with other Web sites.

SSL Port

Determines the port used for establishing a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. For your Web serverÆs default Web site, this port is set to 443, by default. (If you create a new Web site, you must explicitly set this port.) You can change the SSL port to any unique TCP port number; however, users must know in advance to request that port number, or their requests will fail to connect to your server. This option is not available unless you already have a server certificate installed.
