Hi

My client has asked my install a SSL certificate on their web server.
I have 3 .crt files.
I have installed then onto the server, by double clicking them and clicking
the install button.
But how do I get IIS to use them?
The certificates where requested using the old web server.

Regards

Darren

Hi Darren,

Double-clicking the crt will install it to your current logon
account's certificate store. To let the cert be used by IIS, we need
to install it in Local Computer's Personal store(IIS is running under
system account). Please refer to the the section 5 "Install or Import
the Certificate .cer File for the Corresponding Private Key of the
Certificate Request" in the following following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329508

After importing the .crt file, double-click the new installed
certificate and verify if you have a private key of it. If not, the
SSL certificate will not work.

Please let me know how the issue is going. I'm glad to be of help.
Thanks.

Many thanks for your help.
I have managed to install the certificate and get IIS to use it, your
instructions where excellent.
I havent actually tried the site yet as I am awaiting a seperate IP address
(as the site was using host headers).

Darren,

You are welcome. Yes, the host header will no longer work on the SSL
enabled site. You will need to check other sites' IP listening as
well to prevent an IP conflict since previously the sites are
separated via host headers.

Let me know if there is any further problem. :-)
