Environment

Release : 2.9.1

Resolution

To use an SSL certificate with the ITAnalytics application, follow the procedure provided by Microsoft for configuring a site's bindings to use SSL. That procedure is documented here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis

If you have already generated a self-signed certificate, you can skip to the following section of the document (Create an SSL Binding) and proceed from that point:
