I tried to get a certificate to work on Windows200 with IIS too.
I don't know if this is off topic, but how can I sign a certificate request,
created on a windows2000 server. I want to sign the request and create a
certificate on a linux machine running openssl then take the certificate and
make it work on an the windows machine again.
AFAIK when you create the certificate request on the Windows 2000
server it is already signed, with the private key that is left
lurking on the server when the CSR is generated. This is how the
CSR submitter proves to the issuing CA that it really does have
possesion of the private key, that the request itself can be
verified with the public key THAT IS PART OF THE REQUEST ITSELF.
So what you are asking is the general case and is being done by
many people at many places. I don't know of a specific document
on this topic, but we certainly were able after reading the OpenSSL
documentation and other stuff from the web to figure out how to
do this.
