You should verify that IIS recognizes that the server certificate is valid. If this is
not the case, you can try reinstalling the certificate or installing missing certificate
chains.

the computer name node, and then expand the Web Sites node. Right-click
Default Web Site, and then click Properties.
2. On the Directory Security tab, in the Secure communications section, click
View Certificate.
3. Verify the following in the Certificate dialog box:
■ On the General tab, confirm that the certificate is valid.
■ On the Certification Path tab, verify that the Certificate status box
contains the statement “This certificate is OK.”
If the certificate status is not OK, you will see a red X or a yellow warning
icon. If this happens, try reinstalling the certificate or the certificate authority
root. For more information, see the “Troubleshooting” section at the end of this
chapter.
