IIS SSL and linux openSSL

I have a .NET web service that I want to be accessed over https rather than http. Problem is HOW !!

Solution:

1. Activate SSL on web server (IIS)
   • Follow steps 1 through 4 of this very useful blog by Eric Longman
2. Specify the file for which SSL is required
   • Through inetmgr, browse to the file (in my case the .asmx file). Right click -> Properties -> File Security -> Secure Communications -> Edit
   • Check Require SSL Channel (SSL)

   
   
   

And you should be done.
