By default the Server Certificates icon, along with many more, is missing. The missing icons are added through the Add Roles and Features Wizard.
As a part of installing a certificate on IIS 7 there is the requirement to double click on the Server Certificates icon within the central pane in the IIS control panel.
Begin by clicking on the Server manager Icon located in the bottom bar. In the Add Roles and Features Wizard window click on Next to move forward showing the Installation Type.
From the wizard select Role-based installation.
Select webserver (IIS) followed by then web server security and its sub section of client certificate mapping authentication,
Follow the remaining steps as appropriate passing through server select, Server Roles and Features, confirmation and results.
Clicking on Install I have found that whilst the message indicates that the window may be closed – it can’t be.
Also don’t give up hope the feature will be installed, it just seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
