Specifying the SSL Certificate for a Web Site

A server certificate enables users to authenticate your Web server, check the validity of the Web content, and establish a secure connection. InstallShield lets you include a server certificate for a Web site in your installation so that it can be installed at run time.

To specify a SSL certificate that should be installed for a Web site:

1.

In the View List under Configure the Target System, click Internet Information Services.

2.

In the Web Sites explorer, select the Web site whose SSL certificate you want to specify.

3.

For the SSL Certificate setting, click the ellipsis button (...). The Open dialog box opens.

4.

Select the security certificate file (.cer or .pfx) that you want to be installed, and then click Open.

5.

If the certificate requires a password, specify it for the SSL Certificate Password setting.

InstallShield stores the .cer file in the Binary table. At run time, when the installation installs the Web site and its virtual directories, it also installs the SSL certificate.
