Hello.
I successfully generated my own certificate using my own certificate authority but I can't create the .cer file for the web site that needs to use the certificate.
Here are my steps:
1. I installed a stand-alone certificate authority on my windows 2003 domain, on a web server named web1.
2. I went to another machine on the domain that has a website published, a machine named web2.
3. On web2 I used IIS 6, properties of my web site, security tab, generated a certificate request.
4. On web1, I ran Certificate Authority, and chose Submit a new request.
5. I navigated to the certreq.txt file I created on web2 and uploaded the request. I then right-clicked on the request and choose Issue. The certificate was issued and is in my Issued Certificates folder.
So now how do I get the certificate out of there? I don't see an option to generate the .cer file that web2 is waiting for.
Thanks for your help.

I can't find the certificate I issued in the certmgr.msc interface.
I see it in Certificate Authority ( start | administrative tools | certificate authority ). It shows up there with a Request ID and a requester name. And if I open the certificate it shows: Issued to: web2.
But in certmgr.msc, I can't find any certificate that even faintly matches that certificate. How do I get the certificate from the Certificate Authority into the certmgr?

Hi,
Go to run in start menu and type "certmgr.msc" without quotes, you will get certificate manager where you can able to browser thru available certificates, you can also export certificate (.cer) or right clicking on the certificate->All Tasks->Export.
