Enable Host Headers On An SSL/HTTPS Site
February 26, 2010 | Posted by stewart The other day we came across an issue where a user inadvertently inserted a “https” in the URL of a SharePoint site. The resulting page that was displayed was the Central Administration site.
The only site that is secured with SSL on our SharePoint servers is the Central Admin site. The Central Admin site also has a host header. So, I thought that all traffic on port 443 would require the correct host header for Central Admin to respond.
I was wrong.
I was able to find a script on Microsoft TechNet that will enable host headers for SSL sites. Run the following from the commandline:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/<site identifier>/SecureBindings ":443:<host header>"
Where <host header> is the host header for the Web site and <site identifier> is the site’s unique identifier.
You will find the adsutil.vbs file in several places but you should probably use the one located at C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts.
