Wildcard Certificate / Importing cert and how do I generate the CSR and properly associate it in IIS.

Need to install a Wildcard Certificate for a company in their Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition box.

I purchased the *.companyname.com wildcard certificate today. Previous to today we have been using a certificate for mail.companyname.com. This was a self generated certificate from http://servername/certsrv.

So this mail.companyname.com certificate is currently registered or installed at the Default Website level in IIS 6. Do I have to delete the certificate then regenerate the CSR by using *.companyname.com for the name of the request?

Forwarding some good tech documents would help too.

Thanks,

P

I followed the instructions. I had to generate it from a secondary server in order for the *.companyname.com to generate as a CSR. Our mail.companyname.com certificate is on the mail server where Cert Services is installed.

I am going to try it again

I went in and created a new domain in IIS. Then I generated the wildcard cert from that using *.companyname.com

I'll see if this one gets kicked back. If it does I will need to export the certificate and private key from the server and then will need to migrate the virtual directories all to a new site other than the Default....
