Odd IIS Problem

I am trying to configure a web server, and SSL works, but http does not; meaning http://blah.com does not work, but https://blah.com does.  Both ports are properly assigned, 80 and 443.  if i change the http port to somthing else, like 81 I get the same problem.  the Page that displays is a "You are not authorized to view this page"  What gives?

In the IIS config console, open the propeties for the web site, go to the "directory security" tab, and click on "edit..." in the "secure communications" box.  Make sure "Require secure channel" is not checked.

What is the HTTP error code shown?

Ken I did that with no success.  Any other ideas?

Check the permissions of the directory that hosts the page you're trying to get to.

Are you using client authentication on the SSL?

No, how can I check this?

Check the IIS logs - should be in %winsysdir%\LogFiles\W3SVC1 or something to that effect.  You should see an entry your rejected request- it may yield a clue.

Same as in Ken's answer, but look at the "Client Certificates" box.

Ken, thanks your solution worked.  the first time i tried i left the 2nd box checked, which gets grayed out when the above is unchecked.  I went back and unchecked both.  thanks
