As @Ira Rainey said, you need to have an SSL certificate installed in your server. Then you need to configure your web server to enable the HTTPS binding and to specify the certificate to use. Configuration of the server depends on whether you are using Apache or IIS. Both are fairly well documented on the web and searching for "configure Apache HTTPS" or "configure IIS HTTPS" will return more than enough configuration. Note that usually SSL certificates cost some money. This is because the SSL certificate is issued by a well-known authority (usually a trusted company whose root certificate is distributed by the major OS vendors preinstalled) which needs to maintain the PKI infrastructure. However, there's a small company called StartCOM, that is issuing free basic SSL certificates (with the hope to upsell you later to extended validation certs), whose root certificate is preinstalled on Windows, OS X and some Linux distributions. | |||

You need to install an SSL certificate to the server to authenticate the domain name. | |||
