Enabling Certificate on IIS Server
On the Start menu, click Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
In the IIS Manager, click the server name.
Expand the sites folder.
Select the site that you want to secure (usually the default website).
On the actions menu in the edit site section, click Bindings.
6. In the site bindings window, click Add. If a binding for https already exists, select the https binding and click Edit. Fill out the information in the add site binding window. In the type drop-down, choose https. Set the IP address to the IP address of the site or choose all unassigned. The port for SSL traffic is usually 443. Enter the recently imported certificate in the SSL Certificate field.
Click OK. Your SSL Certificate is now installed, and the website is configured to accept secure connections. You may have to restart IIS or the server for it to recognize the new certificate.
Once this process is successfully accomplished, when you visit https://localhostname/modules, our administration interface will be opened with SSL.
