To Configure the Web Server for a Secure Connection

To configure the Web Server for a Secure Connection, you need to add a HTTPS certificate through the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. HTTPS is highly recommended for security for all web traffic.

  1. From the Start menu, open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. In the Connections panel, navigate to server name > Sites > Default Web Site.
  3. Right-click and from the pop-up menu, select Edit Bindings. The Site Bindings dialog opens.
  4. In the Site Bindings dialog, click Add. The Add Site Binding dialog opens.
  5. In the Add Site Binding dialog, change Type to https.
  6. Leave the default IP address to All Unassigned.
  7. From the drop-down menu, select the SSL certificate. If you want to see the certificate, click View.
  8. Click OK to close the Add Site Binding dialog.
  9. If you get a warning message about overriding the current binding, click Yes.
  10. Close the Site Bindings dialog.
  11. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, click SSL Settings.
  12. Turn on Require SSL.
    You now have a secure connection for your web server.
