IIS internal website security certificate

Hi!
We have an internal website that needs https connection. Each time we open the website, we have a warning the there is a problem with this wensite's security certificate.

How can I remove this warning for internal web site or can I create a self signed certificate and deploy with GPO? Is there an easier solution?

Thanks!

Yes you can create a self signed certificate and deploy to your users using a GPO.

No it cannot be easier IF your website really needs https.

It's easier if you purchase and install a certificate from a certificate authority (CA) already trusted in each users certificate store-- such as VeriSign, Thawte, Entrust, DigiCert, etc.

Run certmgr.msc and look under Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates and Intermediate Certification Authorities > Certificates

Hi!

If I use the server address, I do not have the problem (https://srv2k8x64r2-hirs.mydomain.Local). I have created a more user firendly DNS entry like https://HRExpert.mydomain.local that point to the same IP and the certificate warning appears. Is there a quick solution?

Thanks!

Thats probably because the certificate in place is for srv2k8x64r2-hirs.mydomain.Local
