SSL certificate not found in the drop down list – IIS 7

httpsiis-7ssl-certificatewindows-server-2008-r2

With IIS 7 I succeeded to import a new SSL certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authority store, and then to the Personal store.
In the web site binding properties in IIS manager, I wanted to bind the certificate to the required IP address and to the port 443, but could not find it in the drop down list.
I have rebooted the machine but certificate still not there.

There are two things you need to in order for the certificate to appear in the list for IIS which you may not have done

  • Make sure the certificate you are importing includes the private key
  • Import the certificate into the machine account and not the user account
