## For Version 2024.3 and Beyond

### ✅ Prerequisites

- Ensure you have a valid SSL certificate for your domain ready

### Add Certificate to Site `db24-portal`

1. Open **IIS Manager** (`inetmgr`)
2. Right-click the site **`db24-portal`** and select **Edit Bindings…**
3. Add a new binding:
   - **Type:** `https`
   - **Port:** `443`
   - **Host name:** `your.hostname.com`
4. Select the appropriate **SSL certificate**
5. Ensure the selected port (**443**) is open in the firewall
6. Test the new URL:
