IIS : SSL/TLS Settings2022/01/26

	Enable SSL/TLS Settings for Web Sites.
[1]	First, Buy or Get or Create SSL Certificate. If you use self signed certificate, refer to here. On this example, Use certificate from Let's Encrypt, refer to here (Linux tutorial) to get Let's Encrypt certificate and convert it to PKCS12 (PFX) for Windows.
[2]	Run PowerShell with Admin Privilege and Configure. If you use SSL certificate that you got or create it on another Host, import it first. If you created self signed certificate on the same Host with IIS like the link of [1], this work does not need, skip here.
