IIS, localhost, Access Denied

You are almost certainly running into the Windows loopback check that was introduced with IIS 5.1. This is a security feature to avoid certain types of reflection attacks against the system.

You can quickly disable the check via PowerShell:

#settings
$Dir = get-childitem $location
$List = $Dir | where {$_.extension -eq ".jpg"}

Microsoft’s implementation of PKI is called Active Directory Certificate Services, or AD CS, and it comes built into the Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system.
