SharePoint 2010 managed paths

Question

Hi!

I am currently building an intranet portal with SharePoint 2010. One feature I am using is the My Sites feature.

Therefore I created a new Site Collection in an explicit managed path: "my" ...and added a wildcard managed path "my/personal" within the "parent" web application (port 80).

The "My Sites" feature works well, as long as I use http:

http:/ /myservername and http:/ /myservername/my works fine.

However I also want to provide a secure HTTPS connection. Therefore I went into the IIS Administration, created a "self-signed certificate" and added a binding to the mentioned web-application, which uses "https" and that certificate.

When I now connect to https:/ /myservername everything still works, along with the expected security warning, as the certificate is unknown to internet explorer. ;)

However I CANNOT connect to https:/ /myservername/my

I also added another eplicit managed path along with a site collection for team foundation server 2010 integration which also only works via "http" and not with "https"

Therefore I believe, that I have to configure something additional, so MOSS 2010 can work with the managed paths in https?

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks! :)

Hi!

Another strange thing about these managed paths:

They work in the browser as long as the local computer name is entered as servername:

http:/ /mylocalcomputername/my

but as soon as i use its ip address, or the term "localhost" the browser states that it cannot find the website:

http:/ /localhost/my

however, using http:/ /localhost or https:/ /localhost to access the base site collection works fine.

What is going wrong here?!?!?!?!
