It's actually easier than you think. :) 1) Install cert (either via IIS or Certificates MMC)
2) Wait for outage; change bindings 3) Pat self on back DAMIEN SOLODOW Systems Engineer 317.447.6033 (office) 317.447.6014 (fax) HARRISON COLLEGE From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Lum Sent: Friday, September 20, 2013 3:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] And now, my SSL ignorance.... I have an IIS server that currently has a wildcard cert that expires in a few weeks. Due to licensing costs I am to replace this cert with a single web server cert, but am I correct in that I can install SSL certs at any time and the only time they take effect is when you change the SSL binding? * Install cert via IIS * Wait for appropriate service outage to flip certs then bind 443 to the new cert * Reset IIS Amirite?
