Browse service as https in IIS - iis

I have a WCF service hosted in IIS.
When I select the application where this service resides I can browse it both as http and https (in Feature View):
But when I select specific service in Content View
the only option available is Browse:
This Browse defaults to http.
Is there any way to set it up to use https? It's annoying to change it manually in browser each time.
IIS version is 8.0.
OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.

Now I've found the answer.
It is Bindings that rules the behavior of this Browse button.
My solution was to edit site bindings so that https lies at the top:
The same can also be edited in applicationHost file.

Issue in accesing a website hosting on weblogic server through IIS

We are facing issue while configuring IIS setup for weblogic servers.
Following are the environment details:
IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 standard 64x, wls_plugin_12.2.1.2.0 for weblogic server.
We have done the following steps:
Created a new web site on IIS.
Enabling the authentication settings.
Enabling the Directory browsing.
Added the script mapping in Handler mapping and set the path of iisproxy.dll as executor.
ISAPI filter setting for the iisproxy.dll
We are able to view the directory structure while accessing the IP and Port, but the request is not redirecting to the weblogic ip and port what we have configured in iisproxy.ini.
Is there any web.config or handler settings required to process the request?
The issue is that we are using wls-Plugin12.2.1.2.0 whose iisproxy.dll is not working in IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 server. After using the lower version of the plugin, able to access the web logic instance through proxy the IIS.
After that we are able to view the login page of web logic instance but not able to login to the application as it through s "404 Not found error". For this we have to change the handler mapping settings --> Request restrictions --> Mapping --> uncheck the invoke handle, restart the iis application and try browsing again. You will be able to login to web logic applications.

Add security to IIS Web Server

I'm developing some web site that run on IIS 7 and can connect to SQL server via php. The problem is I think its not safe because everyone that know my public IP address can freely access my site (the site is not for public, but I need it to be accessible to some people). How can I add security to this website of mine?
I have search for some type of security like authentication in IIS, but I don't know what should be used. Can I just add id and password like when we try to open page for configure router (192.168.0.1) .
You can easily disable anonymous authentication and enable basic authentication in IIS 7 using IIS manager.
Here is a Technet link and an SO post with details:
Is it a standalone server or do you run the IIS server on a desktop?
If your the only one who should access your site you could also use Intergrated windows authentication (IWA). IWA is a feature of the IIS Server, so if you wan't to use is you should enable it first.

Change URL address for hosted website in IIS

I've hosted my project in IIS, so That it's available at the following URL:
/myMachineName:3557/
How to change that URL to be /TestWebsite and without the port number?
You can do this several ways, including web.config. The simplest way is to use the IIS management UI. See here for instructions.

Allow remote connection in IIS website

I developed a web app, published it to the File System and try to setup the IIS to make it available to a Virtual Machine with XP and a IE8.
Everything is fine in my computer, I can see the website, but from the VM I can't and it's because the setting "Enable remote connections" in the management tab in the Site in the IIS is not checked.
The problem is that option (view image)Manage does not appear under my Site in the IIS.
I already added all the features related with this but nothing works.
It is a asp.net application.
Any guesses?
Thanks
Solved it,
The Network Address Translation option they give in the setting will work.
Just need to access the address that both machines are using for the bridge, so you will have to go to look at the network configuration

Running ASP.NET MVC 4 app on IIS 7.5 Locally

I have an MVC 4 application that I can run using IIS 7.5. In the application properties there is an option to create virtual directory I click that button and nothing happens. When I open IIS Manager I do not see my application under Default WebSite.
UPDATE: I think I am able to setup the virtual directory. But now when I browse the web site it says "A default document is not configured for the requested URL and directory browsing is not enabled on the server".
You should change the path to your default website in IIS to see if it goes to the right place where your solution is.
