RDS and SSL do they work together?

[ejh2]

I can't get RDS to work from Dreramweaver when using SSL (port 443) on my web
server. If I use port 80 it works, but when I change the setup to port 443
Dreamweaver locks up. Is it possible to use RDS over SSL? I don't want to
open port 80. Thanks.

Pretty positive the answer is no one this one. At the very least you would
need a proper SSL cert on the server and specify the full path
([url]www.mycertisforthisdomain.com[/url]) instead of IP to the server when setting up RDS
in DWMX. Otherwise you would get one of the SSL warnings, cert does not match
address. I think there is something about RDS working better with CFMX 7 and
dreamweaver perhaps this issues has been resolved with 7.

On my posting, I sould have stated that I am using CFMX 7 with dreamweaver MX
on a test server with SSL installed. When I try to connect using port 443 in
the Dreamweaver setup, it locks up. When I switch back to port 80 it works.
Is there something else I need to specify in the RDS setup in Dreamweaver? We
have Coldfusion 5 RDS and Studio working with SSL on our production web server.
Any ideas?

You can use SSL with RDS. In the RDS properties for your working connection, change the port to 443. Change the hostname to the yourwebsite.com address. That address has to have an SSL certificate installed. Check the box that says to Use Secure Sockets Layer for the connection. It will connect just fine on Port 443 SSL at that point.
