Installation Instructions for Microsoft IIS 5.0
This document provides instructions for installing
SSL Certificates. If you are unable to use these instructions for your
server, VeriSign recommends that you contact your software vendor or
an organisation that supports Microsoft IIS 5.0.
Premium and Intranet Edition SSL Certificates
Microsoft IIS 5.0 and higher have the SGC utility
built into the certificate wizard. The certificate file you receive
from your administrator will contain both the Intermediate CA and the
SSL Certificate. The instructions below are valid for Managed PKI for
SSL Standard, Premium and Intranet Editions from VeriSign.
Install the SSL Certificate
When your Managed PKI for SSL Administrator
has approved your request you will receive an email from VeriSign that
contains your certificate. If the certificate is an attachment (Cert.cer),
you can use the file. If the certificate is in the body of the email,
copy and paste it into a text file (such as OriginalCert.txt) using
Vi or Notepad. Do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing programs
that may add characters. Confirm that there are no extra lines or spaces
in the file.
- Open
the Internet
Services Manager or the Microsoft Management Console containing the Internet Information
Services snap-in.
- Expand Internet Information
Services (if needed) and browse to the Web site you plan to secure.
- Right-click
on the site and then click on Properties.
- Click
on the Directory
Security tab.
- Under
Secure Communications, click on Server Certificate.
- On the
Web Site Certificate Wizard, click on Next.
- Choose
to Process
the Pending Request and Install the Certificate, then click on Next. The pending request must match the response file. If
you deleted the pending request in error, generate a new CSR and replace
this certificate.
- Select
the location of the certificate response file and click on Next.
- Read
the summary screen to be sure you are processing the correct certificate
and click on Next.
- You
will see a confirmation screen. When you have read this information,
click on Next.
Stop and start your Web site prior to any testing.
Be sure to assign your site an SSL port (443 by default). If you do
not specify an IP address when installing your SSL Certificate, the
same ID will be used for all virtual servers created on the system.
If you are hosting multiple sites on a single server, you can specify
that the ID only be used for a particular server IP address.
