Hello,<br />
<br />
We are trying to setup a windows service and application that runs it needs a cert that performs key exchange. &nbsp;We get &quot;It is likely that certificate ''may not have a private key that is capable of key exchange&quot; &nbsp;in the event viewer. &nbsp;I am running out of ways to create this cert. &nbsp;I have seen online about makecert.exe but I don't know where you get this or how to use it. &nbsp;Can someone please walk me through the process of making this cert so it can be used for Key exchange? &nbsp; We have a CA installed on server 2008 and have no issues handing out other certs. &nbsp;Appreciate the help in advance.

Hello,

We are trying to setup a windows service and application that runs it needs a cert that performs key exchange.  We get "It is likely that certificate ''may not have a private key that is capable of key exchange"  in the event viewer.  I am running out of ways to create this cert.  I have seen online about makecert.exe but I don't know where you get this or how to use it.  Can someone please walk me through the process of making this cert so it can be used for Key exchange?   We have a CA installed on server 2008 and have no issues handing out other certs.  Appreciate the help in advance.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
