Visual Studio 2013 web project properties window not showing all the properties


An ASP.NET MVC 5 project on my Windows 7 does not show all the properties of the project when I change the Web server from IIS Express to Local IIS. For example:

When web server is IIS Express (default when you create a web project):

When web server is changed to Local IIS: I would like to set the SSL URL or other properties through this window but there is only one property available there.
