To configure HTTPS access on your SharePoint Service, you need to configure a certificate for the Web site. The certificate must be a Web server certificate with a subject name that matches the FQDN of the server name.
Use the following procedure to assign an existing certificate on your SharePoint Service. If you must request and assign the certificate, see the procedure immediately following this one.
To assign an existing certificate to the SharePoint Site
Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager: Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
In the console pane, expand Websites.
Right-click SharePoint – 80, and then click Properties.
On the Web Site tab, type 443 in the SSL Port box.
Click the Directory Security tab.
Click Server Certificate.
On the Welcome to the Web Server Certificate Wizard screen, click Next.
Click Assign an existing certificate, and then click Next.
Under Select a certificate, select the certificate, and then click Next.
Select the port, and then click Next.
Review the Certificate Summary, and then click Next.
Click Finish to complete the wizard.
Restart IIS, and then check that all the pool and Web sites are running.
