Hi,
SSL requires an SSL Server Certificate. To get such a certificate, you need
to generate a Certificate Request, submit that to a CA (Certification
Authority). The CA generates the Certificate, and you install this on your
server (eg your webserver). This has nothing to do with Active Directory per
se.
Once the server identification cert is installed for your website, users can
use https://www.servername.com rather than just http://www.servername.com
Cheers
