I want to enable SSL for All web applications. Can i use single certificate to do this or do i need one certificate for each web application in my farm? Please share any tutorial if possible?

    Does anyone know of a guide out there that explains how to do this if you cannot use wildcard certs? I fund out recently in our setup we don't have this option.

    Thanks -BJ

  • Here is a good resource for creating/configuring a wildcard cert for your web apps in IIS.

      I have SharePoint farm with three servers
      1) one has Front-end with Distributed Cache role
      2) one has custom role
      3) one is database
      Do I need to enable https in IIS on both server 1 and server 2 or only server 1 will work fine?

        Muhammad...any WFE (Web Front End) server needs to have the cert and IIS configured.
