Prior to setting up a website in IIS, setup a domain with your DNS provider. For this example we'll use uat.mycompany.com
. First, we will setup IIS to handle secure SSL traffic and then we will setup a redirect to handle unsecured HTTP traffic by redirecting those users to the HTTP version of the application.
In IIS Manager, on the "Sites" node, right click and "Add New Website".
