RE: OpenSSL and IIS4

[John . Airey]

IIS4 can use 1024 RSA keys. We have several machines that are doing this already.

Slamou alycom,

Verify that IIS 4 use keys with lenght higher than 512 bits, if not upgrade your version of IIS.

Hey,

I am trying to setup https on IIS4 by using OpenSSL, I follow steps:
1. Create private key
    openssl genrsa -des3 > holly.pem
2.Generate a CSR from your key
    openssl req -new -key holly.pem  > holly.csr
3. Generate a self-signed certificate
    openssl req -x509 -key holly.pem  -in holly.csr > holly.crt
4. From IIS4 key Manager select import key file: holly.pem and cert file:holly.crt.
I got error: wrong password.

I am sure that I use exactly the same password, so what  real problem is?
anyone has this experience.

Thanks
