Vassilis,
I ran this by one of the Directory Services engineers, and according to
them, they recommend you be at SP6a+SRP and IE 6.0 in order for
Certificates to function at their best.
It may just me a matter of where your cert is located, so use the article
Sue pointed you to and verify SQL will be able to find the cert.
Are you able to connect with SSL using just IE, for example, to another
secure location?
Do you have more than one cert on this box?

| Actually, we have gone through all related articles in KB.
| We've checked multiple times our
| installation/configuration according to those KB articles,

| So, we have started to believe that SSL does not work when
| the SQL Server 2000 is running on a Win NT 4.0 server (as
| I mentioned before, it works perfectly on W2K server).
|
| Has anyone managed to run SQL Server 2000 on Win NT 4.0
| with the "Force Protocol Encryption" option set? Did you
| make any special configuration (which is probably not
| described anywhere?)
|
| Thanks
