The way you set up SSL is different from one web server to the next. They
generally follow the same basic path, though:
1. Generate a certificate request. IIS provides the Key Manager utility,
which does this.
2. Submit the request to a certificate authority: Verisign, Thawte, etc.
3. Install the certificate on the server. Again, in IIS you'd do this with
Key Manager.
4. Configure the web server to accept secure HTTP requests.
For IIS, you can find all this stuff out in the IIS Resource Kit, available
from Microsoft Press (http://mspress.microsoft.com/).
