    I just downloaded the SelfSSL for the IIS 6.0 resource kit and ran the
    following command line: selfssl.exe /NCN=MySSL /K:1024 /Vv:7 /S:1 /P:443

    I got a message that it was successful however when I go in to "Directory
    Security" for my in IIS, the "View Certificate" is grayed out. I also get a
    page not found when I try to hit my website using https:// with my IP address
    since we have not change the DNS yet.

    I am setting this up to A). Test to see if it works and B). We are migrating
    our server and do not want to transfer our current certificate to the new
    server until DNS has finished propagating. The thought here is some users
    will hit one server while others will hit the new one allowing for secure
    transactions on both severs simultaneously and eliminate down time .

    So I would like to know how I can verify the SelfSSL installed correctly and
    works. or if there is another method I should be using for this migration,

    Thanks - Jody
