Note

Use self-signed certificates only for testing purposes or in situations where the EmpowerID server is not accessed publicly by computers outside of an internal domain. For public-facing production servers (accessed by non-domain computers), use a certificate issued by a widely trusted CA.


To configure the EmpowerID Web server for SSL

  1. From the EmpowerID web server, open IIS Manager.
  2. In IIS Manager, select the EmpowerID server from the Connections pane and then double-click the Server Certificates icon under the IIS grouping in the Workspace pane.
