I've never had to restart IIS to replicate a certificate. A synchronization
after the certificate is binded to a site should do the trick.
Thank You

| George,
|
| Your response seems to contradict what I've read in the AppCenter help
file.
| In the help file, it states that SSL certificates are not automatically
| replicated (either change-based or interval-based) due to the fact that
IIS
| needs to be restarted. The help file says to use the "New Deployment
Wizard"
| to do an explicit deployment synchronization.
|
| Please refer to these topics in the help file:
|
| 1) "Advanced Synchronization and Deployment"
|
| 2) "Deploy an Application"
|
| Can you please clairify the steps/process involved in installing
| certificates in an AppCenter environment?
|
| Thanks!
|
| - Bill
