Assign a TLS (SSL) certificate to the MOVEit Transfer Web Site
To perform these procedures please have your SSL certificate(s) imported already.
- Click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services Manager (IIS Manager).
- In the left pane, expand the Sites section, right-click your website
(usually Moveitdmz) and select Edit Bindings.

- Select the https port entry to assign the cert to, typically the well-known port
for https (443). Then click Edit.

- In the Edit Site Binding window, select the correct certificate from the
drop-down box and then click OK.
Your IIS certificate has been changed.
Tip: If you performed this procedure
on your default IIS site because you were still using the MOVEit Transfer
90-day test certificate, move your new cert over to your moveitdmz IIS site. First,
select the default IIS site, open Server Certificates, and then click Remove on the
right. Next, select the moveitdmz IIS site, open Server Certificates, and then
select Bindings on the right. Select the https port, click Edit, and then select the
certificate you requested and installed from the default IIS site.
The certificate now needs to be assigned to the MOVEit Transfer FTP Server.
Assign a TLS (SSL) certificate to the MOVEit Transfer FTP Server
Remember to assign certificates to the FTP server when upgrading SSL certificates. This can cause FTP clients to fail if certificates are not updated.
- On the MOVEit Transfer server, open the MOVEit Transfer
Config utility and navigate to the FTP Certs tab.

- Click the ellipsis button (...) next to Default Server Certificate
field.
The Choose a Certificate dialog box displays and shows the server certificates in the Personal cert store.
- Double-click the certificate that you want to use for the MOVEit Transfer FTP server.
- Click Apply then click OK.
- Restart the MOVEit Transfer FTP Server from the Status tab.
- The certificate has now been assigned to the Web site, click Finish.
