IIS and Websphere integration SSL problem

[Alexis Zorba]

Hi all,

I have a W2K SP4 machine with IIS 5.0 and WAS 6.1 with sample
applications.I created the "sePlugins" virtual directory and can
retrieve the PlantsByWebSphere application from IIS without any
problem.

I created an SSL cert by using Windows Certificate Manager and
installed this certificate on IIS.I can retrieve IIS apps and sites by
using https correctly.But i cant retrieve Websphere apps from IIS with
SSL.
http://localhost/PlantsByWebSphere works correctly but when i call
https://localhost/PlantsByWebSphere it gives me an empty page with
title "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error"
Also I can retrieve the application directly from WAS by using SSL
correctly.
(https://localhost:9443/PlantsByWebsphere)
I think im missing something within configuration but i couldnt find
howto do it.I need your help.
Regards

I couldnt find an article/redbook like this before.I followed the
instructions on the article and it works like a charm now.
Thank you very much,
