Question on enable Web Adaptor ssl access

Question

I followed the instructions in http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//015400000600000000
I am a little confused by the path I need to use to access the services in the end of this document

I configured the GIS Server URL for the web adaptor to be http://MYDOMAIN:6080, and the site works well with a port 80 redirect.
 
I then change the GIS Server URL to https://MYDOMAIN:6443 like the document states. restart the server and services. I browse to http://MYDOMAIN/arcgis/rest/services and it still redirects through port 80 but works, which I would of thought it would be disabled at this point, I then browse to https://MYDOMAIN/arcgis/rest/services and it doesn't work.

I dont understand what the path in the document "https://webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis/rest/services" means. I tried using "https://webadaptor/arcgis/rest/services" "https://MYDOMAIN/arcgis/rest/services" "https://arcgis/arcgis/rest/services" (since the name of the web adaptor is the default "arcgis")

Thanks for the help.

In the ArcGIS for Server Administrator Directory, do you have HTTPS Only specified in the Security section?  Within IIS, do you have "Require SSL" enabled for the Web Adaptor?

Did not think of those requirements, now it works. Thanks for the answer.
