This functionality was removed in Update 23.

We recommend that you generate a certificate for HTTPS using a domain server. For the SSL certificate to be provided by the Windows domain, the domain must already have a server that acts as a certification authority (CA).

Create a domain server certificate using the following steps:

1. Start IIS Manager, and navigate to the site.

2. In site Home, click Server Certificates.

3. In the Actions pane, click Create Domain Certificate to start the Create Certificate Wizard.

4. In the Distinguished Name Properties page, provide the following information and then click Next:

   1. Common name - name for the certificate.

   2. Organization - name of the organization using the certificate.

   3. Organizational unit - name of the organizational unit using the certificate.

   4. City/locality - city or locality of the organization or organizational unit.

   5. State/province - state or province of the organization or organizational unit.

   6. Country/region box - country or region of the organization or organizational unit.

5. In the Online Certification Authority page, provide the following information:

   1. Specify Online Certification Authority - name of a CA server in your Windows domain.

   2. Friendly name - name for the certificate (required).

6. Install the SSL certificate on the HxGN SDx application server. For instructions, see Install an SSL certificate (retired).
