Step 10: Install the Server Certificate on the Remaining Network Load-Balanced Front-End Web Servers
 

On each remaining network load-balanced front-end Web server, you must do the following:

  1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. In the console tree, expand the computer name node.
  3. Expand the Web Sites node, right-click Default Web Site, and then click Properties.
  4. On the Directory Security tab, in the Secure communications section, click Server Certificate.
  5. On the Welcome to the Web Server Certificate Wizard page, click Next.
  6. On the Server Certificate page, click Import a certificate from a .pfx file, and then click Next.
  7. On the Import Certificate page, do the following:
    1. Click Browse, and navigate to the location of the .pfx file that you exported in the "Export the Server Certificate for Use on the Primary Front-End Web Server" step.
    2. Click Open.
    3. Click Next.
  8. On the Import Certificate Password page, in the Password box, type the password that you entered when you exported the certificate on the primary front-end Web server, and then click Next.
  9. On the SSL Port page, in the SSL port this web site should use box, type 443, and then click Next.

     Note   If you chose an alternate port number on the primary front-end Web server, use that same number on the other front-end servers.

  10. On the Imported Certificate Summary page, click Next.
  11. On the Completing the Web Server Certificate Wizard page, click Finish.
  12. Click OK to close the Default Web Site Properties dialog box.
  13. Perform Step 5, Step 6, Step 7 (needed if you required SSL on the primary front-end Web server), and Step 8 (needed if you required SSL on the primary front-end Web server).

You might need to install the certificate authority root. If you receive a certificate warning that states, "The security certificate was issued by a company you have chosen not to trust," you must install the Trust Root Authority, as described in the "Fix Errors by Downloading and Installing the Certificate Authority Root" step, later in this paper. If you receive any other warning, review the steps you used to create and install the certificate, and try again.
