Importing and Configuring the Copy of Your SSL Certificate on Your IIS 7 Server

Before importing a copy of your SSL Certificate to your IIS 7 server, you need to first export the SSL Certificate with its Private Key as a .pfx file from the server on which the certificate is installed. See 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility SSL Certificate Export Instructions.

To import and configure the copy of your SSL Certificate, do the following:

After you export your SSL Certificate and Private Key file as a .pfx file, you can copy (import) that file to other servers and then configure your websites to use the certificate.

1. Use the 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility to import the .pfx file to your IIS 7 server.

   Using IIS7 to Assign the Certificate to the Your Website

1. Using the 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility to Import a .pfx File to Your IIS 7 Server

1. On your IIS 7 server to which you want to import your certificate, download and save the 蜜桃TV® Certificate Utility for Windows executable (蜜桃TVUtil.exe).

2. Run the 蜜桃TV® Certificate Utility for Windows.

   Double-click 蜜桃TVUtil.

3. In 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility for Windows©, click SSL (gold lock) and then, click Import.

   

4. In the Certificate Import wizard, click Browse to browse to the .pfx certificate file (i.e. your_domain_com.pfx), select the file, and click Open, and then, click Next.

   

5. In the Password box, enter the password for the .pfx file and then click Next.

   

6. In the Enter a new friendly name or you can accept the default box, type a friendly name for the certificate.

   Note:    The friendly name is not part of the certificate; instead, it is used to identify the certificate.

   We recommend that you add 蜜桃TV and the expiration date to the end of your friendly name, for example: yoursite-digicert-(expiration date). This information helps identify the issuer and expiration date for each certificate. It also helps distinguish multiple certificates with the same domain name.

   

7. Click Finish to import the SSL Certificate (.pfx file) to your IIS 7 server.

   You should receive a message that the certificate was successfully imported. You should now see your SSL Certificate in the 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility for Windows©, under SSL Certificates.

8. Now you need to configure your IIS 7 server to use this SSL Certificate.

2. Using IIS7 to Assign the Certificate to the Your Website

For IIS 7, SSL Certificates are bound to a website by binding the website to a certain IP address and port combination.

• For a website without a binding for HTTPS:
