Working with SSL on the development box

I need to make sure that my web application works with HTTPS for secure account information. So I followed Hanselman's blog post to set it up:

Working with SSL at Development Time is easier with IISExpress

Everything was working like mentioned. However a couple of weeks ago it stopped working with the following error:

Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

I did not change anything on the local box or my code except for Windows updates. Can anyone tell me whats wrong? I can explain more if more clarification is required.

My application is an MVC4 application with a SQL Server DB.

I fixed this issue by following the steps described in a post from scott hanselman.

The following steps fixed the issue for me:

  1. makecert -r -pe -n "CN=<SOMENAME>" -b 01/01/2000 -e 01/01/2036 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12
  2. netsh http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:44300
  3. Look up the thumbprint of the certificate by using MMC.exe
  4. netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:44300 appid={<SOMEGUID>} certhash=<THUMBPRINT>
