How to Add an SSL Port
SSL stands for "Secured Socket Layer." An SSL port is a security protocol that encrypts all your data flowing in and out of your Exchange server. You can use additional ports to enhance the security of all the sensitive data on your server and for identity purposes. Using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, you can add, remove and modify the SSL ports. Please note you will need administrative rights to perform this task.
