Adding HTTPS Binding

After setting up an Internet Information Services (IIS), the IIS will use the default port 80 and the binding is HTTP. To add HTTPS binding, create a certificate or buy a certificate from service providers.
  1. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, under Connections, expand your server’s name, and then expand Sites. FMSsecurityServer can be seen under the default web sites.
  2. Right click on FMSSecurityServer, and then click Convert to Application.
  3. Select the FMSSecurityServer website for which you want to install the SSL Certificate.
  4. In the Actions menu, select the Bindings option under Edit Site.
    This figure shows the Binding option on the Action menu.
  5. In the Site Bindings window, click Add.
  6. In the Add Site Binding window, enter the following information:
    • For Type, select https from the drop-down list.
    • For IP Address, select All Unassigned from the drop-down list.
    • For Port, enter 443. If you are using a non-standard port for SSL traffic, enter that port number.
    • For SSL Certificate, select the recently imported SSL Certificate from the drop-down list.
    This figure shows the Add Site Binding window.
  7. Click OK. The SSL Certificate is now installed.
  8. To test the HTTPS binding:
    1. Select IIS Web Site, and then select Browse *:443(https) from the right panel. The IIS home page opens in a web browser.
    2. If you used a self-signed certificate, a certificate error is displayed in the browser. To proceed, accept the certificate exception. If you have a self-signed certificate, the certificate error is not display; instead, the IIS home page with HTTPS is displayed.
