Hi Jatin Kushwaha,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forums.

If you try to enable HTTPS using a certificate issued by a CA that you have installed and configured yourself, whether the local device will trust the certificate depends on several factors:

Whether the CA root certificate is installed on the client device: The client device needs to trust the root certificate of your CA server.

Whether the HTTPS certificate is properly configured and bound to your server: The HTTPS certificate on the server needs to be properly configured and match the server name.

So you need to:

1. Make sure the CA root certificate is installed on the client device:

Install your CA root certificate into the trusted root certificate authority store on the client device;

2. Generate and configure an HTTPS certificate:

Generate an HTTPS certificate for your web server that is issued by the CA, properly configured, and bound to the server.

Best regards
