SSL on an IIS cluster

I have a active-passive cluster on Windows 2003 servers that is running IIS,
I am having problems installing the SSL certificate on both nodes. The SSL
certificate was created for the cluster name resource, â€œwww2.mydomain.eduâ€
and that cert was installed on node A without a problem. Using the
â€œiiscnfg.vbsâ€ script I copied the metadata over to node B without a problem.
When the cluster fails to the other node the SSL cert does not work. My
question is where can I find documentation on how to install a SSL
certificate on an active-passive cluster?

Thank you,
Jacob Hahn

Export it from the source node then import it at the destination node.
