How to attach the NexpartB2C Wildcard SSL Certificate to a store

Here are the steps.

1.  Make sure that a sub domain is setup in DNS MADE EASY.  Sub domains cannot have . but can have -.  For example:  autoparts.com.sophio.com is an invalid https sub domain.  autoparts-com.sophio.com is valid.  The A record you add in DME would be:  autoparts-com and you would point it to the ip address that the store is hosted on.

2.  Create a binding in IIS for the new https wildcard.  If a site does not have one yet, you can use the IIS GUI to add the binding.  The binding name does not have https but rather autoparts-com.sophio.com only.  If you make a mistake typing the name and add the binding, you CANNOT DELETE IT FROM THE GUI.  Trying to delete a wildcard ssl binding from a site will unassign other sites.  This is a bug in IIS 7 that is well known.  To delete a binding that you created, you must login to the server as an administrator and use the c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe

3.  In the store settings make sure you have secure=T, secureurl=https://autoparts-com.sophio.com/  (trailing / is important), and wcardssl=T

 4.  When done with the above, build a test order and make sure that when you click checkout, the url changes to https://autoparts-com.sophio.com.  Make sure the secure lock is on.
