Hi

Is it possible (and how) to configure SSL on an application pool for web
services, that are running under it?
I can configure SSL only for web sites, not for applications pools or web
services, on a Win2003 Web Edition server.
Also is possible to have CA on Win2003 Web edition?
Thanks

Regards,
Miha
 
I think that's not possible. The logic: in the OSI model, SSL is
transport/session layer, and application pools are the top layer,
application.
 
Svyatoslav is 100% right... you can only configure a certificate on a web
site. You can configure the same cert to secure multiple child sites of a
single parent, but that is where the security is... not at the App Pool or
Service layer.

As for your second question I do not see why not... Windows Server 2003 Web
Edition (SP1) does support Certificate Services. See the versions
comparison chart here:

Good luck!
