4. On the Server Certificate page, click Import a certificate from a .pfx file,
and then click Next.
5. On the Import Certificate page, click Browse, and navigate to the location of
the .pfx file that you exported in the previous section. Click Open, and then
click Next.
6. On the Import Certificate Password page, in the Password box, type the password
that you used when you exported the certificate on the primary front-end
Web server, and then click Next.
7. On the SSL Port page, in the SSL port this web site should use box, type 443
or the custom port if you are using one, and then click Next.
Note If you have chosen an alternate custom port number for SSL on the
primary front-end Web server, use that same number on the other front-end
servers.
8. On the Imported Certificate Summary page, click Next.
9. On the Completing the Web Server Certificate Wizard page, click Finish.
10. Click OK to close the Default Web Site Properties dialog box.
11. Verify that the certificate is valid, and then test that you can access the home
page of the portal site (referring to instructions in procedures “To verify that
the certificate is valid” and “Test that the home page of the portal site is accessible
over HTTP and HTTPS” earlier in this chapter). If you required SSL on the primary
front-end Web server, you need to do the same on the remaining front-end
Web servers (referring to the procedure “To require SSL on the portal site” earlier
in this chapter if necessary), and then you need to test the access once again.
Note You might need to install the certificate authority root. If you receive
a certificate warning that states, “The security certificate was issued by a
company you have chosen not to trust,” you must install the Trust Root
Authority, as described in “Obtaining and Installing the Certificate Authority
Root,” in the “Troubleshooting” section later in this chapter.
To test the home page of the portal site
After testing the NetBIOS server name for each of the front-end Web servers in
your server farm, you must test the common name of your server farm.
