Does anyone know much about ARR, IIS and SSL?

[TheAngryDog]

I am having some issues with ARR and SSL. Does anyone here have any experience working with it?

Thanks.

I haven’t touched ARR but I do a lot of content switching / SSL work - what’s the nature of the problem?

I've just managed to nail it. The issue I was having was getting ARR to accept SSL requests, but I've sorted it.
For my next trick I need to add some redundancy for the ARR server.

I'm guessing you had to configure a HTTPS binding for the ARR server with a certificate installed in the system context.

For redundancy I'm not sure where you go - several ARR machines with NLB, or a load-balancer which sort of defeats the object...

Yes, I had missed putting the cert on the local arr server. I've gone with nlb in active/passive mode. I don't need scalability, the system won't get enough use for that.
