Slow down and simplify.

You bought a certificate from Equifax and you are trying to use it on an Apache 
web server.

No, you can not use a certificate request from SBS (actually from Internet 
Information Services or IIS), you must use a request from Apache.

When you submit your certificate request to Equifax, make sure you select 
apache as the destination web server, otherwise it will fail.

If you still cant submit a request from an apache box (assuming your request 
was created successfully, are you using openssl?) then contact Equifax and see 
if they have a specific way they want you to generate the request.  We have 
some AIX apache boxes that needed a funky switch when we generated a cert 
request, so you never know.

Btw if you wanted to request a certificate on IIS in SBS you can open the IIS 
manager MMC and right click on your web site and go to directory security and 
click the server certificate.

Hope that helps

Subject: signing certificates for Apache in SBS

Hi,

  We have a signed CA by Equifax and I'd like to know if I could sign
certificates for our Apache Web servers. I have tried to issue a
certificate request from apache but when I import it in the
Certification Authority it says that is not following the right
template. I've seen there is a Web Server template, but I don't know

 1) How to create a certificate request in SBS

 2) If this will work under Apache

 Any experience, howto or documentation?

 Thanks,

 Miguel
