Author Request certificate wizard:What am I doing wrong ? Verisign certificate - Win2003
Marlon Brown

2005-02-01, 8:47 pm

I need to install SSL certificates for my OWA1 and OWA2 servers, that will
be configured as NLB.
As far as I know, I understand that I need to generate a .CSR from both
WIn2003 boxes and submit them to Verisign.

If the above procedure is correct, I go to the Windows 2003 and when I click
the "Certificates" mmc snap-in, under "Personal" and select "Request New
Certificate" the message appears:

The wizard cannot be started because of one or more of the following
conditions:
- There are no trusted CA's available
- You do not have the permissions to request certificates from the available
CAs
- The available CAs issue certificate for which you do not have permissions

What am I doing wrong ? I am logged on as an domain admin, box is joined to
domain accordingly. Win2003 Ent.

a) Go back to the machine that you generated the CSR, use IIS MMC - to
install the cert
b) Open cert mmc, try to export the cert out (including private key), then
import at the other NLB host

The problem is that I don't have the cert yet.
I am trying to generate the cert. If I understand correctly, first I need to
generate a .csr, then submit the .csr file to Verisign to in order for
Verisign to process the request and send it back to me.

When I attempt to generate the CSR on the Win2003 server, I get the message
described below.

Hi Marlon,

Since you are requesting from VeriSign you will have to save the request to
a file (you select "Prepare the Request Now, but send it later"). This will
save the request into a file (you will be able to provide path on a drive
and name for the request). Once done you can open the request file and copy
and paste the request to VeriSign website to continue your process.

Thanks, but unfortunately your answer did not address my problem:
When launching the "request new certificate", this is what I am getting:

never mind. I should request the .csr from the IIS snap-in, not certificate
snap-in. Solved.

Err.. >>

a) Go back to the machine that you generated the CSR, use IIS MMC - to
install the cert
