Enable SSL for the Web Application

You can configure the web application to use SSL when you create a web application. See Create a Web Application with Claims-based Authentication for the procedure to enable SSL when creating a web application. Alternatively, you can extend the SLL capability of a web application by performing the following procedure.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, Programs, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products, Start SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.

   The Central Administration home page appears.

2. Click Application Management, Configure alternate access mappings section.

   The Central Administration> Alternate Access Mappings page appears with a list of available web applications.

3. Click Add Internal URLs button.

   The Central Administration> Add Internal URLs page appears.

4. Select an Alternate Access Mapping Collection from the Alternate Access Mapping Collection list.
5. Enter the URL with HTTPS in the Add Internal URL field and select a zone.

   For example, enter https://spserver.example.com.

6. Click OK.

   The Central Administration> Alternate Access Mappings page appears with the modified URL.

Note: If you do not find an appropriate certificate, you cannot bypass the certificate warning screen. If you have a certificate that is issued to the URL, you can import the certificate in to the client to bypass the certificate warning.
