Hi,

I have a strange problem: I have a MS SQL Server
Development Ed. running on my Win XP Prof. Edition. I
need to activate the SSL encryption, so I went and
installed JaBaCATs (http://www.jabacats.com/) and created
a new certificate. The certificate name is the same as
the host name, signature algorithm is sha1RSA, public key
is a RSA (1024 Bits, keyprint algorithm is sha1. Then I
checked the "enforce encryption" checkbox in the network
configuration tool and things went fine. The server runs
and the communication is encrypted.

Now I want to to the same thing on another machine. I
have tried with one that runs Win XP Home Edition, and
two with Win 2000 Professional. Of course with a new
certificate with the host name as name of the
certificate. I tried both, to create the certificate on
the machine it was meant for and also on the first
machine, where everything runs fine now. All to no avail:
the server wont start and I get the error message taht
says encryption requsted but no valid certificate found.
If I create the certificate on the second machine (where
the encryption is not working) and import it on the
first, it again works.

I'd be grateful for any ideas.

Tino
