I have setup few websites on IIS8 all using the same wildcard SSL certificate. Some of the sites need to be accessible to older browsers and operating systems, therefore I cannot use the "Require Server Name Indication" option.
Since SNI is not supported by all devices, IIS is showing the following alert:
"No default SSL site has been created. To support browsers without SNI capabilities, it is recommended to create a default SSL site."
How do I create a default SSL site? The closest article I found is not very clear, and I have the feeling that there must be an easier solution.

angularsen about 9 yearsYou also need to clear the 'host name' field in order for it to act as the default SSL website. At least the warning on not having a default SSL site did not disappear until I did so, and the IIS8 guide on setting up multiple HTTPS sites described the same setup.
