I want to enable secured communicaiton (HTTPS) for my web site. I am using
Windows XP professional SP2 as my development box. In my Web applications
settings in directory Security Tab the secured communcaiton setting is
disabled...whereas the same setting is enabled on my other machine Windows
2003.

How can I enable HTTPS in Windows XP....

Thanks

Hi,

You can use SelfSSL tool that comes with IIS Resource Kit.

The IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=840671

Once you download the resource kit and run it on your Windows XP -- in
Installation options only select SelfSSL (de-select everything else). Once
installed run it on your system and it will ask you about the options (e.g.
where to install the certificate etc).
