Preparing the StifleR Dashboard Web Site for SSL

The StifleR Dashboard is hosted in IIS and can be secured via an SSL certificate. During the StifleR Dashboard installation, you have the option to select any Web Site in IIS to host the Dashboard. By default, the installation wizard will select the Default Web Site. The below steps use the Default Web Site as an example, but can be repeated on any web site.

Note: Prior to adding a certificate to the Default Web Site configuration, it should be available in the Local Machine Personal Store.

1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (InetMgr.exe).

2. Expand Server Name - Sites and right-click the Default Web Site.

3. In the context menu, select Edit Bindings.

4. At the "Site Bindings" window, select https and click the Edit button.

5. At the "Edit Site Binding" window, under SSL certificate, use the drop down to select the desired SSL certificate. Once selected, click the View... button to make sure you are using the correct certificate.

6. Click OK and then Close to save the configuration.

Once the certificate is applied to the default web site, any communication to the site over port 443 will attempt to use that certificate.
