On the Microsoft Dynamics CRM web server, open IIS Manager, and limit the CRM Website to one http binding or one https binding, or both. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, and type inetmgr in the Open box.
2. Expand Sites, and then click the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website.
3. In the Actions Pane, click Bindings.
4. In the Site Bindings window, make that you only have one http binding type or only one https binding type, or both. If you have multiple http bindings or multiple https bindings, or both, the multiple bindings must be removed.

Note The binding that should remain is the binding that is defined in the Deployment Manager. To check for the correct URLs, open the Deployment Manager, right-click Microsoft Dynamics CRM, select Properties, and then click the Web Address tab.

Note If Internet Facing Deployment (IFD) is used, the certificate that matches your IFD settings should be retained.
