Certificate Authority:

Hi, I am trying to configure a certificate server
On a Windows 2000 Server for use in the Intranet environment.

Just for the sake of discussion. This is what i have:

SERVER-CA: W2K Server with SP3, Internet Explorer 6.0.288.
IIS installed. Certificate Services also installed.

Workstation-A: W2K Server with SP3, Internet Explorer 6.0.288.
IIS installed.


I have created a certificate on Workstation-A which saved as certreq.txt.
Now my question is how do I convert the file (certreq.txt) into a .cer.

I have tried to open Certificate Authority on SERVER-CA
but didn't know the process from there. In all the DOCs that I have
found thus far only mentioned about sending it to Verisign or Thawte once I
have the certreq.txt file. I don't want to do that. I am doing it locally.
How do I do that?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
