  5. Stop, then Start your server, and verify SSL from a browser via "https://.."

Test your certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g. https://your server/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.

Note: The padlock icon on your browser will be displayed in the locked position if your certificates are installed correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.

Troubleshooting

If you receive a "Cannot find certificate issuer among trusted roots" error message when importing the root certificate, please try converting it to a binary format certificate from a base 64 format certificate.
