I installed an ssl certificate to a 2012 server (had been working on a 2008 server for years). I can't duplicate the iis usrs rights that existed on the previous server. It's not available (grayed out). And not available in the advanced tab. I am logged
in as administrator. There is no way to add that attribute, even though that's the only way I got the ssl site to work in 08 server installs. I checked with the certificate issuer and there is nothing wrong with it. It displays in the ssl settings under iis.
I also have the problem of the folder where the file needed to be written to resides. The folder has the read only box checked and when I uncheck it and click apply, it doesn't save after exiting. I have tried using attrib -r at the command prompt, with no
success either. It is evident that these iis users coming to the website can't write to the ssl file unless they have special permission, as well as read, execute (they run an asp script), write. Since I can't give them these rights, the website doesn't function
on this server. I did turn off the firewall. The message you get when you go to the url is a 404 and "you don't have rights to this directory etc."
