SSL enabled site & DNS

I created a test setup in a win 2003 std workgroup based network.

sys 1 configured as DNS, IIS & CA service.

Sys2 configured with two websites. The HHN for the fisrt web is www.abc.com
with ssl enabled & for the second it was www.xyz.com. that is a normal site

well every thing works fine. I access the ssl enabled site as
https://www.abc.com & the second site as http://www.xyz.com.

I discovered that when I type https://www.xyz.com i see the home page of my
first site. The site www.xyz.com is not ssl enabled. Why is it so?

IIS does not support SSL and Hostheaders on the same site except under 1
condition which is using a Wildcard Certificate (both Expensive to buy and
not that useful in most cases)

Microsoft has produced a good tool to help diagnose SSL issues called
SSLDiag available from

In your case you really need a seperate IP Address to get around the issue
or make the 2nd site use the Host Header.
