I followed this tut to add a self service certificate for testing my website,
http://www.jayway.com/2014/09/03/creating-self-signed-certificates-with-makecert-exe-for-development/
When I go to MMC console, In personal > Certificates
I can see my certificate, but when I go to IIS Manager then "Server Certificates" I don't see it there.
Any idea how can I add it ? when I try to import it, it asks for network key which I am not sure what is.
I found it, in IIS 8.5 all you have to do is go to IIS Manager and then Server Certificates and then on empty space right click.
It will ask you to create self signed certificate, give it the name you want and click on finish. It should work as it worked for me.
The question has already been answered but I am adding this in case anyone is having the same issue and is forced to use a certificate which has been generated already.
In order to have it available in the IIS, you have to import the .pfx file in the Personal store or in the Web Hosting store (for scaling purposes).

Firstly I had working custom subdomain for my appservice.
Then I bought SSL wildcard Certificate and then generated pfx file with password. Next I uploaded certificate using Upload Certificate under Private Key Certificates. Certificate has Health Status = Healthy.
Finally, under binding tab I added TLS/SSL binging for my custom domain, choosen this certificate and its type = SNI SSL. Everything seems to be fine, undet custom domain there is SSL State = Secure and SSL Binding = SNI SSL.
When I go to my website - there is no information about any certificates.
I also tried the same with Create App Service Managed Certificate - the same effect, status Healthy, but certificate does not appear on the browser.
#mateuszwdowiak It sounds like you successfully added the SSL binding.
There are two main issues that I can think of that might have proceed the unexpected results that you encountered. Firstly, it can take some time for the SSL certificates to propagate out across the web. From my experience, I've seen it take up to 3 hours. Just because the Azure portal says it's binded, does not mean it will be getting served up just yet.
Secondly, I've seen browser cache also come into play.
It's been a few days but I wanted to see if you resolved this issue. If not, can you please try re-binding your wild card cert, wait up to 3 hours, and then using a fresh browsing session, attempt to browse your site. This should resolve the matter. If not, please reply back so we can assist you further.

in my case, I have published my site in windows server 2012R2 ISS -> then in our office internal DNS server I have config domain with my server IP. HTTP its working fine but HTTPS:// not working.
I try to create a certificate in my windows server IIS but it's not solved my issue.
I need to implement all my internal staff can use with HTTPS(certified). Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
You get this error message when you are not using a trusted CA certificate. to resolve the issue you could try on of try below solution:
1)Click on the advanced button:
Click on the proceed to unsafe link:
Now you can work with the sell signed certificate.
This will only recommend when you are using sit internally. if you are hosting a site on internet it is recommended to use a trusted CA certificate.
or
2)ad the self-signed certificate to the browser ca store:

I know that Microsoft Certificate store contains certificates with their corresponding private key.
Now when using Microsoft certificate store, do we have to create it ? If yes then how ? or we get it by default with windows, then where it is located in windows 7 ?
If possible, please give an example of using MS certificate Store to display all its contents.
If you're asking how to manage certs in Windows, type certmgr.msc into search and it will bring up the manager utility.
It is default snap-in. Click on Start Ord, type certmgr.msc. If you need a cert it will import here automatically when cert is activated. This can happen a few ways, installing an application, logon script if in domain, etc. The certification is made by the developers when creating an application or portal.
I'm setting up a server so that only mapped certificates can get to the webservice. It is set to require SSL/Client certificates, anonymous authentication, asp.net impersonation, forms authentication, and windows authentication are all disabled. One-to-one client certificate mapping is enabled, and certs are set up on the box with an appropriate user mapping. When I try to use the webservice, I get 401.2. If I enable anonymous authentication, it works, but I don't want any old cert to be able to access the website.
I have another machine that has anonymous authentication disabled in this configuration, and it works. I'm not sure what the difference is.
I ran into the same problem, but the solution above did not solve my problem. I was configuring IIS Certificate Authentication on a subdirectory of the website, not on the website itself.
So, this is wrong:
And this is correct:
Once I moved the configuration to the root of the website, everything worked perfectly.
I found the solution at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saurabh_singh/archive/2009/06/13/avoid-this-confusion-around-client-certificate-mapping-in-iis-6-0-7-0.aspx.
Did you issue your client certs from a Certificate Server that the clients/server trust? If you look at the "Enhanced Key Usage" property on the certificates, is "Client Authentication" one of it's properties? In IIS, is the client certificate mapping role installed (see image 1)? did you enable "Client Certificate Mapping" and map the users to the certificate? You need to import all of the client certificates and map them to user accounts here. You can remove all of the other client authentication methods when you have configured that here.
The problem ended up being the software that was calling in, not in the configuration. I'm awarding natemrice the bounty since he put in a good effort to answer what ended up being a non-question.
edit: For more information, it actually ended up being a mismatch between the cert being sent (from the local box) and the cert that was put in the oneToOne mappings. The common name was the same, but the certs were different (likely the first one expired) so the cert simply wasn't authorized.
I'm contacting a web service using a certificate stored in Machine and in user space "myUser".
When I contact the web service impersonating "myUser" from a win application all works well.
But when I contact this using Sharepoint context (I have only 1 frontend) I have only sometimes the following error:
Could not establish trust relationship
for the SSL/TLS secure channel with
authority 'server.host:4443'
I verified that the web service is invoked using user "myUser" as expected but in Sharepoint context sometimes this method crashes.
I don't know what can be the problem. It seems related to Sharepoint/ASP.NET security context but all seems to be ok. Any suggestion?
I think that the only sometimes is the important point here.
Since it works most of the time it is actually setup and configured ok.
The machine that you are sending the certificate to must be able to validate the certificate. My guess is that something is going wrong sometimes. Things that could cause this are:
a network problem, firewall ...
AD server down (I am assuming a self issued certificate)
AD server too busy
Check the event logs of your AD and Sharepoint server.
Have you granted access to the certificate for the asp.net worker process under which SharePoint is running?
In Windows 2008, you need to open the certificates mmc (Start -> Run -> MMC -> File -> Add/Remove SnapIn -> Certificates. Be sure to select "Computer Account" when prompted for how certificates will be managed. Locate the certificate, right-click on it, select "All Tasks". There should be an option in there that allows you to manage permissions to the certificate. You will need to grant read access to the account under which the application pool for SharePoint is running.
Note: if you are running Windows Server 2003, you will need to use winhttpcertcfg.exe to configure certificate permissions.
Try this:
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);
Before you make any calls.
