Importing cert's into MSIE5.

Following the various FAQ's, getting certs into MSIE5 is not a problem. However, when doing "verify" of a cert signed by my own CA, I am being told that the CA (which I created myself) has no CRL and the cert does not verify. If it makes any difference, I'm importing certs into MSIE5 as .der fil

SV: Signing a CSR for NT/IIS from Linux?

Two suggestions: 1) The IIS expects the certificate to be PEM encoded (DER is not accepted). 2) I'm not sure on this one, but I think that your Windows NT must know the root certificate of the CA that signed the certificate, before you can store the certificate in the IIS. Regards, Kim hellan KMD
