Hello all,
Can anyone guide me to documentation or just tell me how to switch from using a CA SSL back to a self-signed SSL? I only have dealt with one direction (self-signed to CA SSL) and that was over 3 yrs ago. Plenty of documentation on web for that, but not going back.
Why? Have old Win2003/IIS6/ArcgisServer 10 server with a CA SSL about to expire and we are phasing everything off this server. We have switched the "https" applications to new servers (new domains). However, I would like the old Https urls to still work so I can redirect them to the new site just for a short while.
Thanks,
Carmen

Daniel,
Thank you for replying, but the server in question is at ArcGIS Server 10.0 - nothing is the same as it is with 10.1 and above.
However, I did find documentation I had used when I initially was working with security on this server when at 9.3.1.
I removed the SSL from a CA by using the "Web Server Certificate Wizard" in IIS 6.0. This can be found in the properties of the Web Site (Default Web Site in our case) - in the Directory Security Tab and then click "Server Certificate". I chose the option to remove the SSL.
Once it was removed, I looked at the Section titled "Using a Self Signed Certificate" in the following documentation:
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3.1/dotNet/index.htm#setting_up_ssl.htm
I had long ago already downloaded and installed the IIS 6 Resource toolkit so I could quickly run SelfSSL.
I did this at 4:30 on a Friday and surprisingly it all worked in 20 minutes. Whew.
Thanks,
Carmen
Carmen,
This tutorial shows you how you can enable SSL for ArcGIS Server using the default self-signed certificate:
ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)
The answer to your question also depends on if you're accessing ArcGIS Server through the web adaptor, the documentation for that workflow is here:
ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)
I hope this helps!
