Installing an SSL Certificate on a SharePoint Server
It is generally well accepted that SharePoint content that travels across an insecure
network such as the Internet should be encrypted to avoid it being examined by prying
eyes. The most common form of encryption for web traffic is by using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) encryption using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) X.509 certificates. The certificates
themselves reside on the IIS Virtual Servers that have been extended as SharePoint
web applications.
If SSL is not already enabled on a SharePoint web application, it must be set up and
configured in advance of the procedures outlined later, which describe how to use ISA to
filter the SSL traffic destined for the SharePoint server. Use the procedures outlined earlier
in this chapter to install and configure an SSL certificate on the SharePoint server.
