   so far, your folders should look like this: C:\well-known\pki-validation
4. Upload the TXT file in the pki-validation folder
5. Open the IIS Manager on your server
6. Do a right click on your website and select Add Virtual Directory
7. In the Alias section write .well-known
8. In the Psychical Path area enter the path to the well known folder. For example:
   C:\well-known
9. Press OK to create this alias
