Bingo!
The string:
bash-2.04# OpenSSL ca -out request.pem -notext -infiles certreq.txt
where -out =the cert to be generated, and -infiles =the pending request,
the -notext option supresses the plaintext form of the certificate to the
output file. IIS 5 seems to like this.
output looks like:

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
The only problem I have left, is getting the cert to work properly. IE
won't load the page, something about "unable to verify signing authority".
I suspect I need to hang the signing CERT out on a web page for
verification. I'm not sure though....

HI,
no I have not received any answer to it yet.
I've been too busy to test the various ideas I have on the issue.
One idea could be that openssl creates the certificates in .pem format and
MS IIS need to get the certificate in some other format. I belive I saw
something about this on the openssl-list yesterday.
I keep your mail and send you a note if I get it working.
Regards
//Robert
