I have found a solution whereby you need to export certificate from certificates.msc concole to a certificate.pfx file. Please make sure to export it with a private key and password protect it. Once this is done you can import the certificate in iis by using import option instead of complete certification request. This keeps the certificate in server certificates console and you can bind the website to the certificate.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Pawel </p> http://blogs.msdn.com/vijaysk/archive/2009/05/22/disappearing-ssl-certificates-from-iis-7-0-manager.aspx#9927200Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:55:37 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9927200mbg<p>when i try exporting my cer file as pfx in the mmc, the pfx option is greyed out :( anyone else had this problem?</p>
