Enabling https protocol in .NET MVC 5 application for localhost

Question

I'm trying to enable https protcol for my application that I'm building on a localhost which has a port number like this:

https://localhost:19590/

I have went to the IIS xx express version and enabled https binding and have been able to access localhost (without any port number) via https like this:

https://localhost/

But now I need to enable HTTPS for the project solution I'm working on currently on port 19590, and when I try to access it, it says that the:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

What am I doing wrong here, how can I enable HTTPS for the localhost project on this port number exactly?

In your project properties, in the web section under Servers can you try choosing Local IIS instead of IIS Express and create virtual directory on https://localhost/
