Receiving the Certificate
How do you receive the certificate from the CA ? Do they send it in "snail mail", then you have to enter it via IIS (or some other method) ? Or do they send it via the Internet to your organization ?

um...
<p>I keep on getting an error on the install...</p> <p> <br /> </p> <p>I requested a ISCert, and then saved it to a .txt file.</p> <p> <br /> </p> <p>Opening the Request install dialog, I entered this .txt file, and got:</p> <p> <br /> </p> <p>Cannot find the certificate request that is associated with this certificate file. A certificate request must be completed on the computer where the request was created.</p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p>What am I doing wrong???</p> <p> <br /> <br /> Nothing. There is a bug in IIS7 - click "cancel" after you get this error then refresh IIS, your cert will now be showing and can be used.<br /></p>
