I have several questions on this I am not clear on and could not get from literature.<br />
<br />
1. When I get the certificate in email does it matter what folder I put it in on my server as long as it's under the web root?<br />
<br />
2. At what point in this process do I back up the key pair and password? &nbsp;i am very confused on when to do this.<br />
<br />
3. &nbsp;What directory in certificate MMC do I import the certificate into?. There are so many choices in the MMC certificate console for this version of IIS 7.5. &nbsp;Do I use the Intermediate Certification Authority folder or does it matter?

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
