Creating Web Apps that use SSL

Hello,

 

I just built a new Subscription Edition farm and when I deploy web/apps using port 80 (no ssl), the IIS sites get provisioned across all WFEs.  However, when I deploy a web/app and select SSL, I have 2 issues:

 

  1. The installed certificates do not show up in the SSL drop down menu in Central Admin.
  2. The web/app gets created in central admin but the IIS site only gets provisioned in the central admin.  I also notice that the certificate binding is not present in IIS and I have to manually bind the certificate.  I can browse the site locally on the central admin.  However, the IIS site does not get provisioned in any of the other WFEs.  

Has anyone experienced this?

 

Regards,

 

Rumi

    Please note that when importing the cert in central admin, it was importing it in the root store as opposed to End Entity. Once I imported it into the End Entity store, the cert was available during web/app creation and the web/app was able to provision in all the WFE servers.
