Hi,
AFAIK, if you have generated the private key and CSR using IIS 4.0 supplied tool,
then the certificate and
private key will be in NET format. For details of extracting the key from IIS backup
file and converting to PEM
format look for the messages with subject "Using openssl to generate keys for IIS" in
the archives. It gives you
exact procedure to deal with the IIS 4.0 generated keys.
hope this helps,
Mandar
