Hello,

I've been struggling with this for couple of days now. All I want to do is
to enable SSL protocol on the webserver.
I want to be able to generate and sign my own certificates. I used various
tools to do that, such as makecert.exe from .NET SDK and even downloaded
OpenSSL and generated certificates using that.
I installed my own certificates on IIS, but SSL simply wont work with any of
mine certificates. I get an error in server's event log: "SSL server
credential's certificate does not have a private key".
If anyone successfully accomplished what I am trying to do, Please respond.
Any links or suggestions? Please help!

Thank you
