In this recipe, we used the IIS management console to add a second binding to our new website. This new binding is for accepting HTTPS traffic. We intend to run parts of this website as HTTP, and some more sensitive pages as HTTPS. Therefore, we created a second binding, enabling both HTTP and HTTPS traffic to flow successfully to and from this site. During the course of this recipe, we needed to choose the SSL certificate that the website is going to use in order to validate the HTTPS traffic that is coming in. There was already an SSL certificate installed on the server for our website; we simply had to choose it from the list.
