I have just installed the ssl certificate and can access the site using https:// but I do not want users going in through http://
How can I block it or divert them automatically to I am using IIS5 & Win2000

Any ideas would be great

I always create a "dummy" site with no content that runs on port 80. Set this site's home directory to be a "redirection to a URL" and point that to "
Create a new web site that contains the content you want to publish. Give it any unused HTTP port (ie port 8080). In the server communications section, select "requires SSL".

The IIS redirect is more reliable than setting up custom errors, since the web brower does not come into play.
