You need a valid and trusted SSL server certificate to run
the Web applications and APIs. For testing purposes, you can also use a self-signed
certificate. See Creating a Self-Signed Certificate for more information.
To set up a default website for SSL:
- In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, in the Connections pane on the left, expand Sites.
- Right-click Default Website and then select Edit Bindings.
- In the Site Bindings dialog box, click Add.
- In the Add Site Binding dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select https.
- From the SSL certificate drop-down list, select a valid SSL certificate.
- Click OK and then click Close.
This
Default Web Site now has SSL binding and can be accessed using
HTTPS.
