Stand-Alone Root Certificate Server May Not Appear in Web Site Certificate Wizard

ID: Q239036

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you request, renew, or replace a server certificate using the Web Site Certificate Wizard, your Certificate Services stand-alone Certificate Authority may not appear in the list of online authorities.

CAUSE

This only occurs if you are not using an Enterprise Certificate Authority (Directory Services integrated).

WORKAROUND

To create, renew, or replace a current certificate, you will need to use the forms available through your local Web server. The default URL is "http://server/certsrv" (where server is the local web server). Request a server certificate, and then send the request in PCKS #10 format.

STATUS

This is a known issue in the Web Site Certificate Wizard that ships with Internet Information Services 5.0.
