Enabling HTTPS on IIS 6.0

Having IIS 6.0 running on my DC to serve requests on my LAN for Certificates
from my standalone root CA, which is also running on the same machine.

Could someone point me to a HOW-TO web page and/or document for setting up
to run HTTPS/SSL (port 443) instead of port 80?

Thanks in advance

HTTPS, by default is Port 443. HTTP (unsecured) is 80. If you have an SSL
certificate, then you'd be using both ports for a website, requests to port
80 are unsecured:
http://yoursite <- port 80 is used
https://yoursite <- port 443 is used

You can follow the steps here to issue yourself with a cert:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=299525
Step 3(e), where it tells you to click "next" twice, on the page above has
the relevant setting. By default, one of those screens that you are passing
has the port number. By default it is 443, you can change it to a custom
port if you want.

Cheers
Ken
