How to install SSL in IIS 7.x

The Following is the step to install SSL certificate in ISS  7.0

 

1. Open Internet Information Services Manager (IISM) to the appropriate Server
Start -> Administrative Tools -> IISM -> Server Name

2. Open the Server Certificates icon.

3. Open ‘Complete Certificate Request’ Wizard

From the ‘Actions’ Menu on the right select ‘Complete Certificate Request’

4. Proceed to Complete Certificate Request’ Wizard

Fill out all appropriate information. You may need to browse to the location of the certificate or you may enter it in the provided box. The friendly name is not part of the certificate itself, but is used by the server administrator to easily distinguish the certificate.

Note: There is a known issue in IIS 7 giving the following error: “Cannot find the certificate request associated with this certificate file. A certificate request must be completed on the computer where it was created.” You may also receive a message stating “ASN1 bad tag value met”. If this is the same server that you generated the CSR on then, in most cases, the certificate is actually installed. Simply cancel the dialog and press “F5” to refresh the list of server certificates. If the new certificate is now in the list, you can continue with the next step. If it is not in the list, you will need to reissue your certificate using a new CSR (see our CSR creation instructions for IIS 7). After creating a new CSR, login to your Comodo account and click the ‘replace’ button for your certificate.

Assign to Website

1. Navigate back to the root of the appropriate website. The center of the window should say “Default Website Home” or whatever the name of the website is.

2. Select ‘Bindings’ from the ‘Edit Site’ sub menu.

3. Add Port 443

In the ‘Site Bindings’ window, click ‘Add’. This will open the ‘Add Site Binding’ window.

Under ‘Type’ choose https. The IP address should be the IP address of the site or All Unassigned, and the port over which traffic will be secured by SSL is usually 443. The ‘SSL Certificate’ field should specify the certificate that was installed using the above steps.

Click ‘OK’ to save changes.

Note: There may already be an ‘https’ entry in this area. If so, click ‘https’ to highlight it. Then click ‘Edit’ and in the ‘SSL certificate’ area select the friendly name that was generated earlier. Click ‘OK’ to save changes.

 

Click ‘OK’ on the ‘Web Site Bindings’ Window to complete the install.

Important: You must now restart IIS / the website to complete the install of the certificate.

Notes:

  •  No Automatic Filtering: This option can block messages from addresses which have been added to the Blocked Senders list.
  • • Low: This level will only filter the most obvious junk.
  •  High: Filters all messages suspected as junk.
  •  Safe Lists Only: Any message that is sent from someone not on your Safe Senders list or to a mailing list on your Safe Recipients list is automatically considered as junk email.

Create Junk- E-mail filter lists

There are five different junk e-mail filter lists in the Junk E-mail Options that can determine whether the emails will be moved to the junk folder or not.

  • • Safe Senders List: Email addresses and domain names of the senders in this list are never treated as junk.
  • • Safe Recipients List: You can add addresses and domain names from the mailing lists and distribution lists to this list so that they will never be marked as spam.
  •  Blocked Senders List: If you add an email address or domain to this list, messages will automatically sent to the Junk Email folder.
  •  Blocked Top-Level Domains List: You can add country/region codes to this list to block messages from another country or region.
  • • Blocked Encodings List: To block messages that contain special encoding or character set, you can add encodings to this list.

To set these junk e-mail filter lists, you can do as follows:

1. Click Home > Junk > Junk E-mail Options in Outlook 2010/2013, and click Actions > Junk E-mail > Junk E-mail Options in Outlook 2007.

2. In the pop up Junk E-mail Options dialog box, click Safe Senders tab, and click Add button to add the address or domain that you don’t want to treat as spams. See screenshot:
