Hi
Assuming you have the certificate installed correctly in the server's certificate store, you need to import the cert into IIS7 and set the bindings for your site.

- On the Server node in IIS select Server Certificates
- Select Import (top right)
- Browse to the .pfx file (you may need to export this from the certificate store first)

- On the your Web Site's (or the Defaut Web Site if you're using it) select Bindings (again, in the right hand 'Actions' menu)
- Click 'Add'
- Select https and your port - default is 443.
- Select your certificate which should now be in the drop down
- Under SSL Settings on your Web Site click Require SSL (and optionally Require 128-bit SSL)

That should be it. Remember to hit your site using httpS. Remember you'll get a certificate warning if you use anything other that the CN to hit the site (e.g. localhost).
