Unable to find SSL Certificate option in IIS Binding dialog

Question

I had recently moved to a new windows 11 laptop, where I am setting up my asp.net local IIS website instance. I had imported the required SSL certificate which I am able to view in the Server Certificates as here :

When I try to create a new website and bind to the SSL certificate, I am unable to find the SSL certificate option at all in the dialog. Any idea?
It looks like as below:

Thanks in advance

• Make sure the certificate you added to "Server Certificates" is the one you created a "Certificate Request" for. If you add a certificate that wasn’t requested in "Server Certificates", it won’t show up in IIS binding window even if it does in "Server Certificates" list
• Make sure there is a private key in the certificate (steps are below) 

Check if the certificate has a private key:

• Open mmc. Add Certificates for Computer account
• A "key image" should be on the certificate image. You can also check it by double clicking the certificate

If the certificate doesn’t have a private key, run the command below.

certutil -repairstore my [thumbprint]

You should see CertUtil: -repairstore command completed successfully message. Close IIS Manager and open it again. Then check if the certificate appears in the binding window.

In the screen shot you shared, you were editing an HTTP site binding, so no doubt you couldn't associate a certificate.

Did you try to add a new site binding and there choose HTTPS as protocol type? It can be done in step 5 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.applicationhost/sites/site/bindings/binding#how-to-add-binding-information-to-a-site
