    Re: how to send the cer.txt to your certification authority?

      Your certification authority is the service that takes your certificate and generates a signed, trusted certificate that will be used for HTTPS.  What sort of HTTPS site are you trying to create?  Is this for an internal website for a company/personal use or is this going to be a public facing site where internet users will connect? If it is an internal/personal site:                
                   You can just create a Self-Signed certificate or use Active Directory Certificate Authority to create your certificate from your certificate request.  When web browsers connect they will probably display the Certificate Trust Warning dialog. If it is a public facing site:
                     You might want to get it signed by Verisign or similar company.  Be warned though, this is a very expensive process if you have a major certificate authority complete your certificate request.  When web browsers connect to a site with a Verisign signed certificate they will not get a Certificate Trust Warning dialog. Hope this helps.

    You can use the tool SelfSSL.exe.  Just follow the same steps you used to create a certificate, except chose Assign Existing Certificate instead of Create a New Certificate.

     Additional information can be found here (all I did was search for "self signed certificate iis6".

    You can set IIS to require SSL for individual files or folders as well as for the full site.  Same process, but select what you want secured before securing it.

    Once you got the ssl cert to the site, you can either set it at file/folder or even entire website.
    read those related article that you found in google.

    also typically you don't need to set the page, when redirect to login page or posting the form just make sure the url is in https.
