Binding & Self-Signed Server Certificate Errors

Question
-
Folks,
I'm new to setting up SSL & I have 2 issues with getting a test website running. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are the details...
/*****************************************************************************************/
Issue 1
/*****************************************************************************************/1. I'm using IE 7 On a 2008 server.
2. I created a self-signed server cert.
3. The Issuer and Subject properties are CN = machine name
4. When binding, I used https (which doesn't allow a host name) & chose the cert I created.So far so good.
5. When I choose basic settings in the Actions Pane & test the settings,
Authentication is valid but Authorization says...The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to
access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in
account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the
physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is
NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to
the physical path. Then test these settings again.The server is not on a domain But I don't know where or what the application pool identity is
concerning the physical path. IIS_IUsers has read access but I don't think that IIS_IUsers &
application pool identity are related.What am I missing?
/*****************************************************************************************/
Issue 2
/*****************************************************************************************/1. When I choose Browse *.443(https) in IIS Manager | Actions Pane | Continue to this website (not recommended),
I get a certificate error "Mismatched Address" with a url of https://localhost/.
When I view the certificate and click the Install Certificate button, it says that the import was successful.
When I recycle IIS, I still get the same certificate error.Again, what am I missing?
Thanks again in advance for your help.
