The following is the steps for SSL Installation at Microsoft IIS7:

1. Copy or download the SSL certificate file (*.cer)  to the web server that you wish to secure.
2. Click on Start menu, then Administrative Tools, then Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
3. Click on the server name.
4. From the center menu, double-click the “Server Certificates” button in the “Security” category (near the bottom of the menu with view by group).
   
5. From the “Actions” menu (at the right panel), click on “Complete Certificate Request.” This will open the Complete Certificate Request wizard.
   
6. Browse to your *.cer file that was provided to you by SSL certificate provider.  You will then be required to enter a friendly name. The friendly name is not part of the certificate itself, but is used by the server administrator to easily distinguish the certificate.
7. Clicking “OK” will install the certificate to the server. Note: There is a known issue in IIS 7 giving the following ERROR: “Cannot find the certificate request associated with this certificate file. A certificate request must be completed on the computer where it was created.” You may also receive a message stating “ASN1 bad tag value met”. If this is the same server that you generated the CSR on then, in most cases, the certificate is actually installed.  Simply cancel the dialog and press “F5″ to refresh the list of server certificates.  If the new certificate is now in the list, you can continue with the next step. If it is not in the list, you will need to reissue your certificate using a new CSR (see our CSR creation instructions for IIS 7).  After creating a new CSR, login to your account at provider control panel and click the reissue button for your new SSL certificate.
   
8. Once the SSL certificate has been successfully installed to the server, you will need to assign that certificate to the appropriate website at IIS.
