I have setup few websites on IIS8 all using the same wildcard SSL certificate. Some of the sites need to be accessible to older browsers and operating systems, therefore I cannot use the "Require Server Name Indication" option.

Since SNI is not supported by all devices, IIS is showing the following alert:

"No default SSL site has been created. To support browsers without SNI capabilities, it is recommended to create a default SSL site."

How do I create a default SSL site? The closest article I found is not very clear, and I have the feeling that there must be an easier solution.

Server details: Windows Server 2012, IIS8, One external IP address

You may choose any of the websites hosted in IIS and uncheck SNI (Server Name Indication there. Check this below

ts;dr: Ignore the warning.

It's 2022 and I was surprised to see this warning in a recently stood up Windows 2019 Server running IIS 10. Based on all major browsers supporting SNI for over 10 years, I think it's safe to say that you can simply disregard this warning.

If you currently have a * binding clear that out as well (and uncheck the require SNI box on that binding)
