How to install a SSL Certificate for Microsoft IIS 7.0

Step 1: Obtain Intermediate CA Certificate

Copy the Intermediate CA certificate from your Secure128 portal under “Order Details”.
Be sure there are 5 dashes to either side of the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE and that no white spaces, extra line breaks or additional characters have been inadvertently added.

Step 2: Obtain and Install your SSL Certificate

The SSL certificate will be sent by email. The certificate is included as an attachment (Cert.cer) and it is also imbedded in the body of the email. Copy the certificate.
The text file should look like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- [encoded data] -----END CERTIFICATE-----

Click Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
From the left menu, click the corresponding server name
In the Features pane (middle pane), under Security, double-click Server Certificates
From the Actions pane (right pane), select Complete Certificate Request
Provide the location of the certificate file and the friendly name

In IIS7, you need to install the certificate and then bind the HTTPS protocol to the site

Step 3: Binding certificate to the web site

Click Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Browse to your server name > Sites > Your SSL-based site
In the Actions pane, click Bindings
In the Site Bindings window, If there is no existing https binding, choose Add and change Type from HTTP to HTTPS
From the SSL Certificate drop down, Select the Friendly Name for the SSL certificate that will be used for this site
Click OK

Verify your Certificate is installed correctly
