Hello Pasho,
You would need to do the following
1. Create a cert with the same name as the hosts (web servers) name
2. In IIS, go to the Default web site and bring up the properties
- Go to the directory security tab
- Click on Server Certificate in the Secure communications
- Choose the certificate you created
3. In IIS, go to the virtual directory you're trying to protect and bring
up the properties
- Go to the directory security tab
- Click on Edit in the Secure communications
- Click on Require SSL
4. Call the service with https instead of http in the url
HTH
