Obtaining an HSL (SSL) certificate for IIS
Steps to follow
To obtain an HSL (SSL) certificate for IIS, follow these steps:
  1. Creating the certification request.
  2. Sending the certification request to an authority.
  3. Implementing the certificate.
IIS 7 can also be used to create a self-signed certificate.
Step 1: Create a certificate signing request
To create a certification request:
  1. Open Internet Services Manager (option "Start .. Run": Inetmgr.exe).
  2. Select the current computer (the root of connections).
  3. Double-click "Server certificates".
  4. In the screen that is displayed, click the "Create a certificate request" link. A wizard starts.
  5. Fill the requested information and specify the name of file to be generated.
Step 2: Sending the certification request to a certificate provider
Application for certification is made to a key certification body.. The steps are virtually the same for each authority.
Simply log on to the certification body's website, identify yourself, and provide the file previously generated to obtain a certificate (for a fee or as an evaluation version, depending on the organization).. .
Step 3: Setting up the certificate
The following operations must be performed:
  1. The certificate provider can send you the certificate by email..
    • Select the part that looks like this.
