Prepare AX Server Environment

This step is needed only if you want to encrypt your Microsoft Dynamics AX  web service with SSL to make your data and network more secure and reliable.

Before configuring IIS to listen to HTTPS, the SSL certificate must be created and installed.

To configure Internet Information Services (IIS) to listen to HTTPS:

Step 1: Open IIS Manager: Start -> Run and type 'inetmgr'.

Step 2: In the IIS Manager select the web site where AX web service is running.

Step 3: Add new HTTPS binding for this web site with a previously installed certificate:

• Click 'Bindings…' on the right pane and then click 'Add…';
• In the 'Add Site Binding' window add the new binding of the 'https' type and generated SSL certificate:

Step 4: Open SSL Settings for this web site, enable the 'Accept' option and click 'Apply' on the right pane to accept the certificate from the client.
