Hi,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

From your description, I understand that you want to know if you can create
two private certificates for two different sites in SBS 2003 environment.
If I am off base, please don?t hesitate to let me know.

Yes, we can. When we run CEICW (server Management console -> Configuration
E-mail and Internet connection wizard -> connect to the internet), there is
1 certificate created that is located in default website. If you want to
create an additional certificate yourself for using on a different site,
you can run CEICW to create cert named CertA, then export the cert. Next,
run CEICW to create cert name CertB, next, import the cert CertA to
anywhere you want. After CEICW created the cert, it is located in default
website and you can then export the certificate in the ''Directory
Security'' tab, ''Server Certificate'' and ''Export the current certificate
to a .pfx file''. Then, you can import the certificate to desired Websites
by following the steps outlined in the following KB Q816794.

However, please note that if you are using ISA to web publishing out your
websites, only 1 certificate can be bound to 1 ISA Incoming Listener,
that''s to say, if you only have external interface which the Incoming
Listener is listening on, you only can use 1 certificate for all of your
web published sites.

The sub-directories under the same IIS WebSite will use the same
certificate. For example, OWA and RWW will use the same certificate and
there''s no way to configure them to use different certificates since
they''re both under ''Default Website''.

Hope above information helps! I am happy to be of assistance to you and
look forward to your reply.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

Hello,

Is it possible to have more than one self created cert on one server? We
are
running 2 separate sites that are accessable only by our employees and it
seems a waste to use a trusted authority to issue the cert for this
function
but i can only seem to have one self made cert at a time. (one over writes
the other when you run the wizard)

Thanks all!
