VeriSign is the leading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate

Authority enabling secure e-commerce, communications, and

interactions for Web sites, intranets, and extranets. VeriSign®

digital certificates protect over 900,000 Web servers

worldwide, so consumers can shop safely.

Follow the guidelines to install VeriSign SSL certificate on

Microsoft IIS 6.0. In case of any failure in installation, it is

recommended to contact Microsoft.

Download the certificate

Method 1:

You will receive the SSL Certificate via email from VeriSign.

Copy and paste the contents of the certificate into a plain text

editor such as Notepad.

The text file should be in the following format:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

[Encoded data]

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Method 2:

Download the certificate from VeriSign Trust Center: SO8061

Reminder:

If you download the certificate from VeriSign Trust Center

account or install it from the email received, then save it with

.txt or p7b extension.

If you install the certificate, downloaded from VeriSign Trust

Center account in x.509 format, then save it with the extension

.txt or .cer

Step 1: Installing SSL Certificate into IIS 6.0

Open the Internet Services Manager (IIS):

Properties > Directory Security tab.

Certificate, then click Next

click Next

Be sure to assign your site an SSL port (443 by default).

Step 2: Locate and Disable the VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary

Console (MMC). Please see the following solution for

In the Certificate purposes section, select Disable all purposes for

this certificate
