SSL Certificate for AX Web Services

Prerequisites

To complete this walkthrough, you will need:

• SSL certificate (either obtained from a certification authority or self-signed). For the detailed information about how to create a self-signed SSL certificate, see 'Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate'.
  
  

  The self-signed SSL certificate is only required if you do not already have the SSL certificate and you want to create a self-signed certificate.

  
  
• Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
• Service Configuration Editor. This editor allows to configure Web services using a graphical user interface. With this tool you can configure Web services without having to directly edit the 'web.config' file. For more information, see 'Configuration Editor Tool (SvcConfigEditor.exe)' in the MSDN Library.

To complete this walkthrough, you should perform the steps from this guide on the server running Microsoft Dynamics AX Web services.

If the .NET Business Connector with a custom AX Web service is used, then skip the step 'Configure Web Services to Use SSL'. In the custom AX Web service, delivered with a Sana Commerce package, all settings which are necessary to use AX Web service with SSL are already set in the 'web.config' file of the Web service.
