I just setup SSL and I am having problems.  When I go to https://localhost/ArcGIS/rest/services and click login to access secure services the login page appears.  But when I put in my login information I get a HTTP 403 Forbidden error.  But if I go back to https://localhost/ArcGIS/rest/services it shows me as being logged in and shows the secured services.  Any idea what is going on here?  Thanks in advance.

You have to figure out what specific request is generating the 403.  Look in the IIS logs and/or use a tool to spy on HTTP traffice such as Fiddler.

We recently had a similar problem where we had a proxy which required HTTPS but communicated with the underlying web services using HTTP.  The user configured the default web site to require HTTPS which resulted in a 403 error when the proxy attempted to use HTTP.
