Hello,
It sounds like you're installing the cert without creating / importing the
private key in IIS. Have you followed the CSR wizard in IIS to generate a
key pair and the CSR to either send to a CA or sign yourself? Make sure you
use the 'Create a new certificate' option in the SSL IIS wizard and you can
create a test 3 month cert from IPSCA to make sure it works OK:
