SLL Cert, OPENSSL, Exchange

Just a question. The SSL cert made by openSSL on a *nix box - can that be used on a Windows box or are they entirely different file types? I haven't tried it yet as I'm still doing research and trying to implement my own Cert Authority with openSSL. However, all the examples are done in *nix. I'm not sure if it'll work for windows so I just wanted to make sure.
 
It can certainly be done. If you google for 'openssl certificates iis' you should get plenty of hits.

However, if you have Windows servers that need certs, you might want to think about using Microsoft's CA.
 
Or it sounds like you're just looking for a simple self-signed SSL cert to use for testing/playing with your IIS box. If that's the case you might want to look into the IIS Resource kit tool "seflssl"

hey thanks spyordie. that's exactly what i was looking for. something to test/play with. i don't need anything official and it's only going to be a small group of users actually logging in. nonetheless, i would still like secure communication. thanks! i'll look into it.
