Installing SSL Certificate for use in IIS7, installation "works", but cert listing disappears
- by Matt
Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS7. We have an SSL cert from Go Daddy. It's a wildcard cert, so it will work across subdomains (e.g. *.domain.com). I followed the instructions located at http://help.godaddy.com/topic/742/article/4801 for installing the certificate. I get to the IIS step, where I:
Click on "Security Certificates" feature when the server is selected in the left pane
Click on "Complete Certificate Request"
Navigate to the .crt file on the file system
Give it a "friendly" name, click finish
The cert gets listed on the main pane now of this "Server Certificates" panel. But, if I refresh the page, or navigate away and come back, it's gone. And the cert is not listed as a viable binding when trying to bind a site to https.
This seems like a pretty straight forward process, but clearly I'm missing something here. Any ideas?
