I am having trouble applying a self certificate, which I have generated via IIS 7 and moved to the Trusted Certificate folder. When I type in the https URL to the web service for example, 

 https://localhost:9000/mywebservice/aservice/GetMyData

I get back that the certificate is not trusted or not valid plus I get a http 404 response.

In my endeavours to get this working, I have been following the examples given in the following links:

http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/configuring-security/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis

http://www.allenconway.net/2012/05/creating-wcf-restful-service-and-secure.html

http://www.allenconway.net/2011/06/create-self-signed-ssl-certificate.html

All I am trying to do by configuration is to host a WCF Rest Service returning a JSON response in IIS with a certificate generated off the local machine. I thought this should be relatively simple, but there seems to be some wrong turns being made. So, if anyone can give me some pointers as to what I can do solve this, I would be grateful.

Thanks

If you're using Firefox, it's got its own certificate store so you'll have to add your self signed certificate there too.

Is the Subject Name of the SSL certificate localhost?

  • No the name is Local Machine – Andy5 Oct 03 '14 at 05:44
  • The CN in the certificate has to match the URL, e.g. if the URL is https://localhost:9000/mywebservice/aservice/GetMyData, then CN should be localhost as well. – eddiecjc Oct 06 '14 at 00:36
