SSL Certificate: HOW TO Install New or Renewed Certificate Issued by SSLs.com (IIS7 needs a .pfx)

I know you probably tried to install your new cert and SSLs.com have provided you with a zip file containing a:

1. .crt
2. .p7b
3. .ca-bundle

But where is the .pfx file?!?!

You have 2 option: 

First you can use the guide to make one if you have an OpenSSL client install

OR 

simply do below in your Exchange or Web Server that you want to install the new certificate you purchased or renewed!

Open START>Run

Type in mmc and press OK.



Click File and select the Add/Remove Snap-in option.



Click on Certificates in the list of Available snap-ins and then, on the Add button.

Select Local Computer

Once open go to Personal>Certificates and again later on Trusted/Certificates right click and import certificate.

Select your p7b file and wait. (Do it at both locations)

NOTE: If needed, open properties of the imported certificate and give it a Friendly Name or same as you had with on your expired certificate.

Now you can go back to your IIS. Refresh and you will see the new certificate there!!!

Go to binding to set you certificate to your HTTPS * and restart your IIS!

Done and Enjoy your new certificate!
