1. Select the server node in the tree view and double-click the Server Certificates feature in the list view:

You now have a self-signed certificate, which can be used for server-side HTTP SSL encryption and server identity authentication. The certificate is marked for Server Authentication use, meaning it is intended to be used by a server to establish a secure connection with a client and to verify the server's identity to the client during the SSL/TLS handshake process.

1.2. Create an SSL Binding

1. Select Default Web Site in the tree view.
2. Right-click.
3. Select Edit bindings.
4. Click Add to add your new SSL binding to the site.
