Okay, port 443 is now open for the https, what's interesting is that my browser keeps prompting me about a secure and nonsecure item in this thread.
If I say "yes" to display both secure and non secure items the lock disappears, which means that it's not encrypted. If I say "no" then the lock appears, which means it is encrypted. This somehow sounds not right. Anyone else getting this?
No, the lock not appearing doesn't mean that the entire page is not encrypted. Try getting to it, answer "yes", then look at the properties of the page, you will see that it's still using the ssl certificate. The reason why the lock is no longer there is because how IE interprets the encrypted session. IE thinks that - while part of the page is served using the encrypted session - since it's serving some un-secured parts, it doesn't want the user to believe that it's an entirely secure session.
