IIS 7.5 Self Cert - "The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority. "

Question

I have followed http://www.robbagby.com/iis/self-signed-certificates-on-iis-7-the-easy-way-and-the-most-effective-way/ and https://www.sslshopper.com/article-how-to-create-a-self-signed-certificate-in-iis-7.html

When I go to the site, it still shows:

"The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server."

An advice would be most welcome. I'm on Windows Server 2008 R2

Answer 1

If this is a self-signed certificate, you need to add the certificate or the root certificate which was used to sign the certificate to your browser.

If this is a public facing website, you may forgot to add the intermediate certificate authority certificates to the web server. If this is a public facing website, please provide the URL and I can help you more.
