Error on Cert Request

Hello:

I don't know if I am posting this in the correct group. I have a machine I
am trying to get an SSL on. Everytime I click on submit after filling in
all my information I get an Error page which says:

Error
You did not come to this page as a result of a form submission.
You may not bookmark this page.
Contac your administrator for further assistance.

I have googled this and looked on TechNet, but can not find the reason why I
am getting this. I thought the problem might be in my IE settings on the
computer. I put everything back to default but still get the same error. I
even removed the computer from the domain and re-added it.

Does anyone have any ideas why I am getting this error and how to get around
it?

Hi Harrison,

Do you mean you met the error on the certificate request web form?
Actually web server certificate's base64 enabled request file should
be generated by using IIS certficiate wizard. Then you can submit the
base64 string to the certificate authority web form directly without
inputting any information. Please refer to the following article:

How To Configure SSL in a Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 Test Environment by
Using Certificate Server 2.0

Feel free to let me know if you need any further help on this.
Thanks.
