You cannot move certs from IIS4 to IIS5 they manage the keys differently. I am pretty sure that you will need two certs, one for each box.....(im sure ill be corrected if wrong)
-----Original Message----- From: JM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 5 June 2002 7:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IIS5 SSL Certs Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I have had such good responses from you guys in the past, I thought that someone would be able to help. We have two IIS5 servers serving identical pages, from identical URLs, in a failover capacity. When applying an SSL cert to a W2000 IIS5 box, I was under the impression that you would only have to secure the one URL, once. Someone has mentioned to me that I would need two certs, one for each box, I dont think so, although it has been some time since I done this, and the last time was with IIS4. Surely once the Cert has been issued by the CA, and I aply it to the box it was generated on, I can then export this, and apply it to the other box(es), by using the key manager? I think that the problems only occur if you use the machine name as the common name, and of course, I have not. Can anyone clarify his for me please?
