Generate TLS

Option 2: Use Windows IIS Manager (GUI method)

Step-by-Step:

1. Open IIS Manager (inetmgr)

2. Go to Server Certificates (under server-level features)

3. Click “Create Certificate Request…”

4. Fill the CSR details (same as OpenSSL)

5. Save the .csr file

6. Upload it to a CA (Let’s Encrypt via ZeroSSL, or any CA)

7. Once validated, download the certificate

8. Return to IIS → Complete Certificate Request

9. Browse the .crt and give it a friendly name

10. Bind it to your site (IIS > Site > Bindings > Add HTTPS)

Option 3: Use ZeroSSL or CertifyTheWeb (UI Tools for Windows)

• ZeroSSL: Free browser-based GUI for generating certs

• Certify The Web: Automates Let's Encrypt for IIS and other services

Bonus: Test Your Certificate

Use:

• [Link]

• Or curl:

bash

CopyEdit

curl -v [Link]
Would you like help automating this for local development (e.g., localhost) or for a public
website hosted on IIS or Apache on Windows?
