creating new certificate 1

[1DMF]

Can someone help in creating correct , proper CA self signed cetificates please.

I've done a help search, found this

To create a certificate request

Open Server Management.
In the console tree, click Advanced Management, click Internet Information Services, click YourServerName (local computer), and then click the Web Sites folder.
In the details pane, right-click Default Web site, and then click Properties.
On the Default Web Site Properties page, click the Directory Security tab, and under Secure communications, click Server Certificate.
On the Server Certificate page of the IIS Certificate Wizard, click Create a new certificate.

however , create new certificate is not an option.

so now what?

thanks 1DMF.

Rerun the Internet Connection Wizard and use that create your new Cert.

You must use the Wizards for everyting in SBS

Thanks, I've done that only , it creates a non-CA certificate.

I need help creating a CA self signed certificate.

We have one already but I don't want to use that for OWA, as it is used for our VPN and would prefer to use a seperate one for the mobile users access.

is it possible to have more than one CA self signed cetificate or is there onnly ever one CA root certificate.

any help is appreciated.

Have you installed the CA Authority on your Server?
If not follow this link:

thanks, only it turns out the Nokia e61 isn't compatible at all as it has a firmware issue making not work with certificates properly.

we've sent them back and will be getting WMD's but appreciate the link as I will still need to issue a certificate for them.
