RE: CA-SSL in IIS

You can use the built-in CA with Windows 2000. The problem you will face is getting the Root CA's public certificate to your clients. By default, they will not have trusted it, unless they belong to your Windows 2000 AD (if you have one).

Hi all,

I am looking into installing and SSL certificate into IIS to allow encrypted connections. Rather than pay out a few hundred dollars a year for a SSL cert, I would rather generate it myself.

Can I use the CA server in Win2K server for this? Or do I need OpenSSL or something to generate the certificate?

Thanks,

Do you need help?
