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. |

- From the EmpowerID web server, open IIS Manager.
- 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.
- From the Actions pane, click Create Self-Signed Certificate.
- In the Create Self-Signed Certificate window that appears, specify a friendly name for the certificate and then click OK.
- From the Connections pane, select Default Web Site and then click Bindings in the Actions pane.
- In the Site Bindings window that appears, click the Add button.
- In the Add Site Binding window that appears, select https from the Type drop-down and then the certificate you just created from the SSL certificate drop-down so that the window looks similar to the following image.
