In order for content from the web content server to display properly in the Self-Service Portal, the URL that is used to connect with the web content server must match the name on the web content server certificate. A potential solution to a certificate name mismatch problem is to change the certificate that is used by the web content server. Use the following procedure to select an alternative Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate for use with the computer that is hosting the web content server.

In order to use the procedure, you must already have a certificate issued from a certification authority.

To select a certificate for web content server use

  1. Log on to the computer that hosts the web content server with administrative privileges.

  2. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  3. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, in the Connections pane, expand the computer name, expand Sites, and then click SCSMWebContentServer.

    Note


    SCSMWebContentServer is the default name used during setup of the Self-Service Portal.

  4. In the Actions pane, under Edit Site, click Bindings.

  5. In Site Bindings, select the port that you used for the SCSMWebContentServer then click Edit.

  6. In Edit Site Binding, click the SSL certificate list, and then select the new certificate that you want to use.
