How to fix SSL Certificate that I'd found no "Private Key"
Hi Experts, how to fix my SSL Certificate that I'd found no "Private Key" after installing it in Certificate Snap-in or MMC.
I bought a SSL Certificate from Godaddy.com and install it in MMC and to IIS. However, I found out that there's no Private Key in that SSL Certificate causing my server computer not able to run. Is there anyone who can give solution?

Seems to be a pretty common problem not only with godaddy, but with all certificate providers. Have a look at the link below:

If this fails, do a google search for "recover ssl certificate private key" -- there are lots of sites dealing with the issue, which indicates it's a fairly common problem.
Side note: I'd personally prefer almost any key issuer other than godaddy, but this is an opinion.

I'm with Dr. Klahn about GoDaddy certs. The GoDaddy process is cumbersome.
Consider free https://LetsEncrypt.org certs.

Hello,
The private key is created on the node you used to create the Certificate Signing Request (CSR), and it would not be provided by the Certificate Authority (CA).
If your current node stats that it does not have the private key, you can try running the "-repairstore" command, but it will not work if you are on a different node from where the CSR was generated.
If you are looking to install one certificate on multiple nodes, with one private key, you would need to go to the original node and obtain the private key, and then bundle the certificate and the private key for the other nodes you wish to install the certificate.
