  1. Hi,

    I have been trying to set up a ssl https://localhost site, but cant seem to get it to work.
    I have created a self-signed certificate and created a https binding.
    I keep getting the following error in IE when I go to https://localhost


    This page can't be displayed

    •Make sure the web address https://localhost is correct.
    •Look for the page with your search engine.
    •Refresh the page in a few minutes.
    •Make sure TLS and SSL protocols are enabled. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Settings > Security
