Ssl – Need help converting wildcard CRT to PFX for use with Windows Azure

azureiis-7sslssl-certificate

I need help preparing a wildcard SSL certificate purchased from NetworkSolutions. I called their tech support, and Jason told me "I am unfamiliar with Windows, just google it…".

Here is what I have done:

  1. Started IIS 7 Manager
  2. Went to "Server Certificates" and clicked "Complete Certificate Request"
  3. Entered the path for the STAR.DOMAIN.COM.crt file I downloaded from network solutions, along with a friendly name.
  4. Clicked OK

When I do this, the cert appears in the Server Certificates list. However, there is no "Export" link… only View, Renew, and Remove. Also, when I leave the Server Certificates screen and come back, it is no longer there.

This same process works with our old single-domain SSL cert which expires in 2 weeks. When I complete a certificate request for it, it appears and stays in the Server Certificates section, and can be exported to PFX.

What am I missing here?

find a different company. a place with a support staff telling you to 'just google it' is a company that does not deserve your business.
