Hi experts,

I am trying to make a SSL connection to a web site. Each time I enter the https:// address and press enter, the IE8 prompts me to select the Certificate (Client Certificate) to send to the server.

I got 2 certificates to choose from. And they are stored in the IE8 -> Internet Options -> Content -> Certificates -> Personal.

Since my server and client are the same machine, I want to use a single certificate for both server and client. And this certificate is a IIS generated self signed certificate. I do the following steps:

1- Generate a self-signed-cert in IIS;

2- Bind my site to https and choose the above self-signed-cert

3- Import the self-signed-cert at the IE8 -> Internet Options -> Content -> Certificates -> Personal.

Then I use the https link to access my page, it is still prompts me to choose a certificate. But I cannot see my newly imported self-signed-cert. Why?
