Go to the ‘Directory Security’ tab and then click on ‘Server Certificate, The server certficate is greyed out the edit option in enabled.

If i create the request a CSR under default wesite and apply the ssl to the default website will this cause problem to other wesite sports.cleeveschool.co.uk

Hi lianne143,

Based on your msg. sounds like you have your website setup like such.

Internet Information Services
    -> Web Sites
           --> Default WebSite
                       -->office.cleeveschool.co.uk
                       -->sports.cleeveschool.co.uk

This configuration is one website with 2 virtual directories. If it is setup this way,  please check to see if you are using an SSL certifcate on "Default Website" like such.

   1. Right click on Default Website.  
   2. Properites
   3. Tab Directory Security
   4. Under Secure Communications - Click on View Certificate. In there you will see the "issued to:
       www.somedomain.com".

  * IF this is greyed out, then SSL is not in use and you can generate a CSR request for it. and follow the instructions from Go Daddy to install it.

If it like this, then you are ok to make "office.cleeveschool.co.uk" its own SSL site. This also assumes that you are using host headers.

Internet Information Services
    -> Web Sites
           --> Default WebSite
           --> office.cleeveschool.co.uk
           --> sports.cleeveschool.co.uk

   1. Right click on Default Website.  
   2. Properites
   3. Tab Directory Security
   4. Click Server Certificate Wizard and generate a CSR.

Let me know which setup you have and we can get it working for you.

Try right clicking on the domain rather than the subdomain, then add the subdomain later on in the process.

Thank you so much for you help
If i open the IIS It looks like the below:
Internet Information Services
    -> Web Sites  
           --> Default WebSite
                          -->office.cleeveschool.co.uk        

           -->  Microsoft Sharepoint

           --> sports.cleeveschool.co.uk


If i right click on -->office.cleeveschool.co.uk

But if i right click  --> Default WebSite

But If i right click on -->sports.cleeveschool.co.uk    
and go to properties ,under directory security i can see the server certificate tab enabled.
but I dont  want to install SSl for this site.

Hi,

No worries, we like this stuff.

"But if i right click  --> Default WebSite  and properties ,under directory security i can see the server certificate tab enabled." -> If you view the certificate, is there one issued?

If not, then just go through the server certifcate wizard as mentioned in the above post by "DominoG" to generate a cert.csr. Once that is complete, send it to godaddy do be processed.

Then again from the post above, follow the instructions to apply it.

Hi
Thanks for your help
This server is in the DMZ. I followed the above steps.when i come to  the organizational unit , does this name needs  to be picked up automatically from our domain or can i put any name  here.

Thankyou

Put your department name in there.  e.g. Office

Yes, like DominoG stated, that info can be whatever you want. Just make it descriptive for you.

The parts are the first entry "NAME" and the third "commonname" - This should be the full URL for the site you want to secure.

Cheers,
