dear all,

this is my first time writing to this news group. i
seriously need help with a problem that i have after
downloaded a trial ssl id certificate from verisign. i am
doing a thesis where i need to manipulate both the
private key and the public key, and we can see the public
key from the certificate properties but there we cannot
see the private key and we need it.

the server we are using is IIS that is downloaded with XP
version 5.1.

please tell me if you have any idea, how can i get the
private of the certificate i downloaded from the system?

thank you very much waiting for your reply,
Mary
