I had windows make a "self-signed" cert, which was saved with a ".cer" suffix under c:\windows\system32.
Then imported it to personal store, no prompt for password, set to "enable for all purposes for this certificate".
First, is anything wrong with the above?
If so, what?
My usage of the IIS is for is to host browser pages that are accessed as a user software interface only on the local computer or a computer on the local network.
It seems that the Win 11 24H2 windows update is now requiring any webpage hosted by IIS, even on the local machine/local network be accessed using "https" rather than "http", necessitating this certificate. Or am I missing something here? Prior to that Win update, Windows IIS and the browsers have been perfectly fine with supporting "http" access.
