Enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt data sent between a Web server and a client. To enable SSL, you must obtain and install a valid server certificate. You can acquire a server certificate from a certification authority (CA), which can be an internal Windows domain CA or a trusted third-party public CA. You can also create a self-signed server certificate for troubleshooting, testing, or application development. After obtaining the server certificate, you must install the certificate and bind the HTTPS protocol to your Web site.
