SYMPTOMS

In FrontPage Explorer, when you open or create a new Web by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), you may receive one of the following error messages:

There is no server on port 443 at 'server name'. You have selected the option 'Connect Using SSL'. This connection problem may indicate that the server does not support Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communications, or that it uses SSL communications on a different port number.

-or-

Unable to connect to server at 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' on port 443 (socket code 13101).

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the host name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of your FrontPage Web.

Back to the top

CAUSE

SSL connections require a security certificate. Socket code 13101 is generated when the security certificate is not from a recognized certificate authority or when it is from a recognized certificate authority but it cannot be read by FrontPage.

RESOLUTION

FrontPage 98 can correctly read public keys that begin with values other than 1 if they are from a recognized certificate authority.

NOTE: FrontPage 98 does not support 128-bit encryption.
