IIS 5.0 - Create Server Certificate Wizard

Author

sgm
IIS 5.0 ->Default Web site->mywebsite->Right click->Properties->Directory
Security

In this window, 'Server Certificate' button is disabled. I cannot procedd
further. These are some of the things I have tried -
I have the admin access to my machine
I have tried to remove access for annonymous
I re-registerd xenroll.dll

Nothing has helped. By the way, the operating system is Windows 2000
professional.

Thanks

I don't recall for certain, but I think the version of IIS that comes with
2k Pro is restricted and can't do SSL, among other restrictions. I think
you'd need a proper server edition to do this, or upgrade to XP (which I can
confirm DOES handle certs)

Thanks Jason. I really appreciate you answering this post. But, IIS 5.0 help
files gives the directions that I specified earlier to create server
certificates. If IIS 5.0 did not support SSL, I don't understand why the
directions were included in the help files. I have searched on all search
engines and all get from there is to reregister xenroll.dl. The tech support
chat line also gave the same suggestion in the email message. I would
appreciate if any body can through more light on this issue.

Thanks

I'll fire up a Win2000 virtual machine shortly, and check what the deal is.

Hmmm... odd. My windows 2000 VM has a working server certificate wizard - so
it looks like my recollection was wrong - for which I apologise.

So to confirm, you're going into the properties of your default website and
attempting to generate a new certificate request, but the button is greyed
out, is that right? and what service pack level are you at, and are you
logged in as admin?

Hi Jason,

Thanks again. Yes, the button is greyed out and the service pack is 4. We
have 2 machines with similar platform and in both the machines the button is
greyed out. I have admin rights to my machine.

Hi Jason,

I am still waiting... Were you able to find any answers? I am not sure how
this forum works. If you were not able to find any solution for this problem,
would you please point me to the next level of technical expertise or
escalate it to the next level?

Thanks

sgm,

sorry I didn't get back to you earlier - I don't check the newsgroups every
day, unfortunately.

I've made a note to research your issue a bit further and marked it for
follow-up in my reader, so I'll try and get back with something soon.

Hi Jason,

The issue is resolved.

While I was changing things on IIS -> Default Web site - >properties  to try
out, if any thing will change the scenario, I lost access to the server. It
took a little while to figure out that the Home Directory execute permission
was set to "None". Any way, after I changed the access to "script and
executables" the button became available. I don't know what was my previous
setting (may be it was "scripts only"??) and I have no clue what did it. No
other setting has changed on the properites except the one mentioned above.

Thanks
