Proper way of making certificates
Hey,
I was wondering about the proper procedure to make certs for SBS 2003.
I have a website e.g. www.website.com with ip 12.12.12.12.
The SBS 2003 server resides at public ip 21.21.21.21.
I want to link from www.website.com -> https://21.21.21.21/ ... per say.
I've already created a certificate but I used www.website.com for the .. website name (using the SBS wizard as part of Configure EMail and Internet). Shoudl I be using 21.21.21.21? The local name of the SBS server (e.g. server.local)? Add a DNS entry on website.com, e.g. server.website.com and use that? Shoudl I copy something on www.website.com form the server?
What's the proper procedure?

www.website.com is hosted with an external webhost. I looked at the link, no occurances of the word "certificate".

That's what I was thinking. I'm gonna test this on Mon or Tue. Thanks TechSoEasy.
is www.website.com a site that is hosted on your SBS? Or is it hosted somewhere else?
Perhaps you should review http://sbsurl.com/net101 for a quick overview of how all of these parts work.
