I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or not but I didn't see one that looked more suitable.
I have a server running 2012 with the RDS role. I'm trying to install an SSL certificate on it in IIS8 and I'm not getting anywhere.
The SSL certificate is from Network Solutions. Normally I deal with GoDaddy but this client uses NS so that's where I had to go for the cert.
I got the cert and in the zip file were 3 file. One is named AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt, the second NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA.crt and the third is remote.domain.com.crt. No it's not really domain but I didn't want to put in the actual domain name.
I spoke with Network Solutions tech support who were very little help. They only know what their documentation says which is for II6 and IIS7. Following that didn't work and the tech said I'd have to call Microsoft. Some tech support!
Anyway I've tried to follow the generic directions for IIS8. Via the certificate MMC I installed the first .crt file in Trusted Root Certification Authorities and the second .crt file in Intermediate Certification Authorities (NS tech said that .crt file is the intermediate file). I then opened IIS Manager and did the Complete Certificate Request process which completed without error.
I then selected the web site in IIS Manager, selected bindings and added an https binding. But in the SSL certificate dropdown, there is NO certificate.
So I am stumped at this point at getting this cert installed. I checked each of the stores in the Certificates MMC and I can see all 3 certificates in their respective stores of Trusted Root, Intermediate, and Personal. But the remote certificate does not show in the dropdown when trying to assign a certificate to the https binding.
Also, when I look in IIS Manager, click on the server in the Connections pane, then double-click on Server Certificates, there are no certificates to be seen. So somehow the remote certificate is not getting properly installed but I dunno why. I've done this multiple times with GoDaddy certs and didn't have this problem.
Anyone have any idea how to proceed for getting this cert installed?
