Binding HTTPS

After IIS is installed and basic setup completed, you may need to bind an SSL certificate to HTTPS on the machine where the web server is installed.

1. Start the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Navigate to and select Default Web Site. Select Bindings.

   

   The Site Bindings dialog box is displayed.

   

3. Bind the certificate to HTTPS.
   1. Click Add to display the Add Site Binding dialog box.
      If you are re-binding the HTTPS certificate, select https from the Site Bindings dialog box, then click Edit.
   2. Select https in the Type field.

      

   3. In the SSL certificate field, enter the fully-qualified domain name of the server that received the certificate.

      For the Proficy Application Server, the server is typically the host that the Web Server uses to connect to the server.

      If you are re-binding the HTTPS certificate, the port remains 443. Select your SSL certificate from the drop-down menu. Click View to verify that you have a private key that corresponds to the certificate.

   4. Click OK to add HTTPS binding to the list of bindings in the Site Bindings dialog box.
4. Close the Site Bindings dialog box.
5. Close the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
