I want install a site certificate on my IIS 4.0 Server.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>- I installed and configured Certificate Server as the Root CA.<br>- In Certificate Server setup, I created the self-signed root certificate.<br>- In Internet Explorer, I used the HTML tool (<A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> to install the Certification Authority certificate on both the Web Server and the client.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I call up the certificate on both machines, they are both OK.<br>- In key manager, I create a private/public key successfully.&nbsp;&nbsp;I bind it to www, my web server's IP address, and port 443 (SSL).<br><br>The problem is that when I access the site with a Security Alert pops up warning me that &quot;The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust.&nbsp;&nbsp;View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority.&quot;<br><br>Does anyone know why my client browser is not trusting the certificates that are issued by my web server?
 
By going to Microsoft.com and searching for the entire string &quot;The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust.&nbsp;&nbsp;View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority&quot;, I was able to come up with an article (Q256099) which describes How to Distribute or Push a Root Certificate Authority Certificate to Clients.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is late, so I'm not going to read it tonight, but I think this will solve my problems.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks.<br><br>Dennis<br><br>
