  Re: Failed to install Verisign SSL digital certificate on IIS 5.0. Please help!! Reply Contact Have you made sure that the certificate has indeed private key associated with it? You could try SSLDiag tool and check if it really related to IIS permissions/configuration issue or not. If "test certificate" and simulate handshake works with SSLDiag then this is not issue with IIS configuration or permissions and would be indeed issue with certificate itself. Let me know how it goes. HTH. ~ Ganesh

  Re: Failed to install Verisign SSL digital certificate on IIS 5.0. Please help!! Reply Contact Hi, It looks to me as though you have installed the certificate you received from Verisign without first processing the pending certificate request on the machine where the CSR was generated. This will result in a situation where you have a certificate with no private key on your machine. Can you confirm that you followed the steps outlined here : Certificate Signing Request (CSR) Generation Instructions - Microsoft IIS 6.0 Installation Instructions - Microsoft IIS 6.0 If you haven't you will need to process the original pending request. This should produce a valid cert with an associated private key. Regards,  Paul Lynch | www.iisadmin.co.uk

  Re: Failed to install Verisign SSL digital certificate on IIS 5.0. Please help!! Reply Contact I don't know whether I did it right in the first time. But I have tried several times to revoke and replace the certificate by generating new pending request in my website and paste the outcoming code to verisign's website for getting a new certificate. Then I use the certificate attached at the end of the email to import into the website. Then it fails.

From your eariler post: #Subject: C=**, S=**, L=**, O=**, OU=Administration Department, OU=Terms of use at www.verisign.com/rpa (c)05, CN=*** #Issuer: O=VeriSign Trust Network, OU="VeriSign, Inc.", OU=VeriSign International Server CA - Class 3, OU=www.verisign.com/CPS Incorp.by Ref.

  Re: Failed to install Verisign SSL digital certificate on IIS 5.0. Please help!! Reply Contact Can you try following: 1. First install the updated Intermediate Verisign certificate. 2. Ensure that it is updated - You can just double click on the .cer file that you received from verisign for Your website and click on certification path tab ( it should complete chain without any Red 'X' on it. 3. Then in IIS run certificate wizard and select option of replace certificate and choose your website certificate. HTH. ~ Ganesh
