To Configure SSL on IIS

NOTE: This next step is optional and is required only if you plan to use SSL. You need your own certificate to proceed the install.

By default, IIS is configured to use the HTTP protocol. The main security issue is that traffic between the client and the server is done as clear text. To secure the transmission between client and server, the information is encrypted by using SSL.

To configure SSL on IIS, follow this procedure.
