How to enable SSL on your virtual directory

How to enable SSL on your virtual directory

To enable SSL on your virtual directory

Step 1

Once we have setup the certificate, we can enable SSL on a virtual directory by

Invoking IIS and then choose a directory for our purpose here. The site that we have chosen is called "Snail".

Step 2

Then, under Directory Security click on Edit and click on Require secure channel (SSL) and OK.

Step 3

To test it out, open your browser and then type

http://yourcomputername/snail

You will get an error message, which is similar to the one shown below.

If you type https://computername/snail/index.asp then you will be able to view it.
