Hi all,
I tried searching the boards before posting but didn't find anything. Hopefully somebody can help me out. I exported a SSL cert from server 1 (running W2K3) to server to a pfx file. I then imported it to server 2 (also W2K3) and I'm trying to replace the default certificate placed on a website (the default is the plesk self signed cert). After starting the certificate wizard and choosing to replace I'm presented with a like of available certificates installed on the server. My imported certificate is not in the list. I tried letting the wizard choose the import location and I also tried telling it to place it in the Trused Root Authority Repository. Neither import makes the certificate available to replace the other cert with.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Justin

Thanks for the link but unfortunately it is geared toward new installation of cerificates. I'm having problems browsing certificate repositories for existing/imported keys.

Start mmc...

Follow the directions in that link on how to start mmc and you can view certificate repositories.
