IIS and MSIE
------------

you have incorporated your CA root certificate into MSIE
but your IIS can't see the certificate...
that's because IIS (w/ SP3) doesn't use CryptoAPI.

Solutions...


using SP3:
---------
If you want that IIS4 server recognize your CA root cert,
you have to

1. install your CA Cert into MSIE 4 in the same machine
   where you run IIS,

2. run  %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\iisca.exe  and then
   restart the NT machine (yes, restart the NT machine).



using SP4:
---------
IIS stores its trusted roots in the local machine 'Trusted Root
Certification Authorities' certificates store.

1.  Open Internet Explorer 4.

2.  Browse to the root certifying authority certificate that you want
    to add.

3.  Select Open this file from its current location, and then click OK.

4.  Click Install certificate.

5.  After the Certificate Manager Import wizard has started, click Next.

6.  Select Place all certificates into the following store.

7.  Click Browse, and then click Show physical stores.

8.  Expand Trusted Root Certification Authorities, select Local Computer,
    and then click OK.

9.  Click Next, and then click Finish.

10. Restart your Web server.
