Hi Miha
Sorry for replying so late. I was out for weekend and came today. As
suggested by you i went through this document:
How To Set Up SSL Using IIS 5.0 and Certificate Server 2.0
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299525&Product=iis50
But I am facing some problem. As mentioned in this article, first I
made a certificate request. Here I gave netbios name of the server as
the common name.
Then I installed the certificate componnent from the add/remove
component.
Then I went ahead for 'processing certificate request'. Here after
Issuing the Pending Requests, when I do Check on pending request it
says "You have no pending certificate requests." Then I select
"Retrieve the CA certificate or certificate revocation list" and save
the certificate file on to my desktop. Then I proceed to install
this certificate on my web page. I go to IIS MMC , properties web
page-Directory security-SErver Certificate and click "Process the
pending request and install the certificate" and give the path of the
file on my desktop but it says "Selected certificate was already
installed to another server."
I fail to understand what does this error mean? Can you please tell me
how to go ahead with this certification?
Thanks Manoj
