Wildcard SSL Certificate Installation

iainbrighton — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:49:55 GMT

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to install a wildcard SSL certificate on an SBS 2008 server? I've installed the certificate in to the Local Machine Personal Certificate store (I can select it via IIS), but the "Add a trusted certificate" wizard won't pick it up or display it!

During the install I left the connection settings as default, i.e. as remote.domain.com. I have a valid GoDaddy wildcard SSL certificate that has the CN set to *.domain.com. I assume the wizard is looking for proper/legit remote.domain.com certificate and ignoring the wildard cert. Anyone have any ideas? Can I manually launch the TrustedCert.exe wizard with a specific parameter for example?

I can manually attach the SSL certificate to the various IIS sites, but I don't know exactly what the wizard is achieving under the hood..

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Iain
