How to install self signed certificate that was created by Makecert.exe in windows for IIS Express?

539 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to add https to my local development environment in IIS express for a custom domain. I first created new certificate using the following command in a elevated developer command prompt

Makecert -r -pe -n CN="mycustomdomain.com" -a sha512 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localmachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12

The problem now is that the mycustomdomain.com is now installed in the local certificate personal store and is telling me that this CA root certificate is not trusted and that I need to install this in the trusted root certification authorities store.

Would simply copying the certificate into the trusted root certification authorities store without the private key be enough? If not, what should I do?
