To open to customer and order manager tool, you should install SSL certificate on web server and SSL secure channel should be enable in profile and order virtual directories. You can use SelfSSL tool to create SSL certificate. SelfSSL.exe is part IIS 6.0 resource kit tools and you can download it from Microsoft site.

When I try to get an address profile object from the commerce server profile system, I used to get following error.

{”The requested profile could not be retrieved because the key name provided does not exist or is not an indexed property.  The profile type is ‘Address’.  The key name provided is ‘GeneralInfo.first_name’.”}

Commerce server can search on the entries which are unique, primary keys. Since firstname is not primary or unique key in my schema, I was getting this error. To make my application work, I made first name as unique key.

Note: You may not see your code working unless you perform IISReset.
