Generating SSL certs via Cert Server

[Wibble]

hello! I can download trial certs from the net and secure an IIS site. What I would like to do is generate my own certs via certificate server.

What steps must I take?? I am currently running certificate services for secure mail (works with KMS and is fine). Can these certificates be used for SSL aswell or do I need to specify the root CA as being SSL3 (when I do the initial install)

When I generate the key file from IIS and paste it into cert server,I get an error 0. I'm probably doing something really silly...help me!!!!

Wibble,

If this is IIS 5 here are 2 good articles about using Certificate Server 2.0 for SSL.

thanks for that.....I've sucessfully set up SSL certs and am now looking at mapping Client Certs (i had a dodgy NT server that was throwing all kinds of errors so I removed everything and started again!!)...if you're interested, I dug a good site :
