SSL Certificates Support

Installation Instructions- Microsoft IIS 6.0
This document provides instructions for installing
SSL Certificates. If you are unable to use these instructions for your
server, VeriSign recommends that you contact either the vendor of your
software or an organisation that supports Microsoft IIS servers.
Installing an SSL Certificate
VeriSign will email you 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 Properties.
- Click the Directory Security tab.
- Under Secure
Communications, click Server Certificate.
- On the Web Site
Certificate Wizard, click Next.
- Choose to Process the Pending Request and Install the Certificate,
then click
Next. The pending request MUST match the response file. If you deleted
the pending request in error you will have to generate a new CSR and
replace this certificate.
- Select the location of the certificate response file, and then click Next.
- Enter your SSL port (443 by default).
- Read the summary screen to be sure that you are processing
the correct certificate and then click Next.
- You will see
a confirmation screen. When you have read this information, click 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.
