asp.net mvc 3 - don't have option in project properties for "SSL Enabled"

Viewed 5733

I'm following the Pluralsight ASP.NET MVC 3 tutorial, module 7 - Security (which, by the way, is a great tutorial). In the Authorization section, at the 6:24 mark, it shows how to set the project property of SSL Enabled to true. My problem is, when I get into the project properties, I do not have that option. I only see Always Start When Debugging, Project File, and Project Folder. Does anyone know why I don't have the option for SSL Enabled, how I could make it appear, or a different way I can achieve the same result? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 SP1Rel.

In other reading, I saw someting about the setting requireSSL="true" in the Web.config file, under the authentication tag. Does this do the same thing as setting SSL Enabled = true under project properties? If not, could anyone give a brief explanation of the difference or point me to a good article? Thanks.
