Problem with SSL Certificate and 443 Port

Question

I have a WCF Service in an Azure Virtual Machine, but it doesn't work, and I guess is because SSL certificate, beceause before I was working without ssl certificate ( type http service) and it was working properly.... I tried to use an ssl certificate that is in IIS by default but none of them works....

Do I need to buy an ssl certificate in order to work my WCF service under SSL encription (type https) ???

Answer 1

Hi @Luis Miguel Perez Lopez

I have two methods for you to use here:

1.Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

2.Modify the web.config file directly

<system.webServer>
		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url="(.*)"/>
					<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.lasletrasdelrock.com:8880/View/Index.aspx"/>
					<conditions>

					</conditions>

				</rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>
	</system.webServer>

Tips: Since I did not focus on the study of regular expressions in order to show the method. Here my regular expression (.*) means that all URLs entered comply with this rule, and you need to check the relevant documentation of the regular expression for further settings.

Best regards,
Qi You

Answer 2

The configuration I suggested and the configuration QiYou-MSFT recommended work perfectly.

Unfortunately, you are not providing enough information for the community to figure out what's wrong with your configuration.

I can't work with 80 and 443 ports.

Is there any way you can explain why you can't work with port 443? I'm asking because https://www.lasletrasdelrock.com is bound to 443 by default. Is there a binding for port 443? Why is the Web Forms application bound to port 8880? What are the bindings for the WCF application?

Can you share a screenshot of the site bindings?

Here you go:

https://www.lasletrasdelrock.com:8880/View/Index.aspx => it works now

https://www.lasletrasdelrock.com/ => It doesn't work now (page can't be reached)

If I put the code in the web.config of my project

		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url="(.*)"/>
					<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.lasletrasdelrock.com:8880/View/Index.aspx"/>
					<conditions>

					</conditions>

				</rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>

Both url's doesn't work :( ... even trying in the virtual machine where the app is located. I'm using the ports 8880 and 4443 because I couldn't work with the ports 80 and 443, these ports are already used by another applications in my virtual machine is there a problem with the ports 8880 and 4443 ?? now they are working properly....

Answer 4

One question, is there a way to solve this problem without using IIS, I mean, just using

Networking page and Network Security Groups and setting up Inbound Rules in Azure portal ???
