I have an asp.net mvc website hosted on IIS 7, Windows Server 2008, on Amazon server I think.

SSL certificate is set up and when browsing from the server everything works fine(except for the warning stating that the ssl is not registered for the domain(think that is because I was browsing using IP address instead of actual host name)). But publicly only http works. If I try accessing https, I get The connection has timed out. Same goes when domain name is set up and when using only IP.

I tried disabling windows firewall, and ran netstat which shows port 443 listening(I think, it was listed with local addresses as 0.0.0.0 and [::], but no foreign address shows port 443). I also ran netsh which lists certificate on port 443. When using http://www.adminkit.net/telnet.aspx I get "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond IpAddress:443"

Is there something I am missing? Any suggestion is really welcome. Also, could it be related to certificate itself? The certificate supplied didn't work at first and had to be converted to pfx using openssl.

Thanks

If you are running this server inside Amazon's EC2 environment then you will need to edit the security groups settings to allow inbound traffic on port 443 for access from the internet.

  • That could be the issue, I had no idea that even existed. I don't have access to that panel so we will have to wait for a day for client to check it. Dec 17, 2013 at 15:45
  • Turns out this was the issue. Client supplied credentials for the console, I updated inbound traffic for that instance security group to include port 443 and it works. Dec 20, 2013 at 3:05
