You need to complete 2 steps:
- Create or import a certificate;
- Configure SSL on BAT website.
Creating a Certificate
In the IIS Manager you need to open "Server Certificates" section:
In this section you will see a set of actions (invoked by right mouse button click):
If you already have a company certificate, you can import it here. But in many cases it would be enough for you to create a self-signed certificate, so you may select the appropriate item.
After you invoke "Create Self-Signed Certificate", you will see this:
Enter a name for this certificate and press OK. It will appear in a list.
Set up SSL on BAT Web Site
Open your web site in IIS manager, and choose "Bindings". Press "Add", select "http" and your certificate:
After this your web site becomes available via https.
Note: if you created a self-signed certificate, you will get this:
It is normal that the browser doesn't trust your web site – the certificate is self-issued in our case. For testing purposes click "Continue to this website".
However, if you want your domain computers to know about this certificate, ask your domain administrator to create a certificate on domain level. Or, if BAT website is made available for public, ask your administrator to order a certificate from http://www.verisign.com/
