Configure the IIS Web Server to use SSL

Be sure that a secure port has been enabled on the Web Server. Generally this is port 443. You can verify this through the Management Console by right-clicking on the Web Server and in the Web site tab you will see an SSL Port. Be sure a port number has been installed.

The advanced authentication schemes will create virtual directories in the Web Server. These directories will automatically be configured to require SSL and certificates as required by the specific authentication scheme. However, for testing purpose, you may want to create a test virtual directory. You can configure this virtual directory to require certificates through the Directory Security tab, Secure Communications.

https://servername:port/virtual directory - Ensure that the browser is asked for a certificate.
