"Unexpected Error" Occurs When You Use RDS Through SSL (250809)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Install Internet Explorer 5.0 on a Web server.
2. Configure Internet Information Server (IIS) to support SSL by installing a certificate on the server. For more information on how to do this, consult the IIS documentation or see the link in the "References" section of this article.
3. Set up a Web application to use SSL. Right-click the application in the Internet Services Manager and select Properties. Select the Directory Security tab. In the Secure Communications section, click Edit. Select Require Secure Channel and Do Not Accept Client Certificate.
4. Insert the following code into a new ASP page, and then save the page to a folder in the Web application that is configured to use SSL. Modify the connection string and query string as necessary.

   <%@ Language=VBScript %>
   <%
       Dim cn, rs
       Set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
       Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
       cn.Open "Provider=MSRemote;Remote Server=https://MyWebServer;Server=MyDBServer;Database=pubs;PWD=sa;UID=;"
       rs.Open "SELECT * FROM Authors", cn
       While Not rs.EOF
   	Response.Write rs(0) & "<BR>"
   	rs.Movenext
       Wend
       rs.close
       cn.Close
       Set rs = Nothing
       Set cn = Nothing
   %>
   					

5. Use Internet Explorer 4.01 to browse to the page from a client.
