RE: RWW certifcate (setup thru EICW) not installing

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Just to let you know I have managed to fix the problem - I think it must have
been caused by the company's internal guru (?) deleting the certificates. I
found both certificates (servername and publishing) in the client apps\sbcert
folder so imported them back through the certificates mmc.
Then re-installed the certificates into IIS (Internet Information Server)
default web site. Had a quick panic when it told me certificate was not
trusted, but then realised I had to import the certificates into the "Trusted
Root Certificate Authority" as well via the certificates mmc.

I did initially run the EICW and for once it didn't create a certificate,
i.e. when I went to the default web site (after running the EICW) to install
the certificate, it was not in the selction box.

Anyway, problem solved - mystically :)
Thanks for your assistance!
Regards,
Kevin
