IIS 7 Disabling “Require SSL”

asp.netiisssl

Deployed an ASP.NET application to our internal production server as a virtual directory under the default web site. I had been getting 403 errors when trying to connect to it. So I verified the folder permissions and when I went to look at the IIS (7) SSL settings I saw that "Require SSL", "Require 128-bit SSL" and require client certificates have been enabled. This application does not need SSL.

The problem is that these checkboxes and radio buttons have been greyed out and I can't seem to figure out how to disable them. Also, in the upper right hand corner of the IIS manager, I see in the alerts box "The site does not have a secure binding (HTTPS) and cannot accept SSL connections.

How do I disable the SSL settings?

For anyone else having this issue, here is what I found that cleared the SSL configuration:

appcmd set config "Default Web Site" /section:access /sslFlags:None /commit:APPHOST
