Configuring SSL

To configure SSL, follow these steps:
1. Open IIS and select the server from the left hand tree-view.

2. Double-click on the Server Certificates in the main area.

3. Click Create Certificate Request… from the right-side Action pane. The Request Certificate Request wizard opens.

4. Enter the Distinguished Name Properties. Enter a common name for your site (this is the name with which users will access the site, and so it needs to be valid). Enter your Organization name and Organizational unit. Enter the geographical information and click Next.

5. Select the Cryptographic Provider and Bit Length on the next screen and click Next.

6. Select an output location and filename for your certificate and click Finish.

7. Use the contents of the outputted certificate request file to process a certificate request either with a local certificate authority (if you are accessing this site only on the local network), or with a third-party certificate issuer that processes certificates for Web servers (if you are going to access this site via the Internet).

8. Once you have processed your certificate request you can complete the request process.

(If this is a third-party certificate, follow the instructions provided by the issuer because you may need to install root certificates.)

9. Open IIS and select the server from the left hand tree-view. Double-click on the Server Certificates in the main area.

10. Select Complete Certificate Request… from the right-side Action pane.

11. Browse to the file location of your processed certificate request,

select the file, provide a friendly name, and click OK.
