IE8 Will Not Install SSL Certificate

问题:

I have my own SSL for development purposes. Normally when IE would give you the WARNING you could simply install the certificate, resart IE and go back to the server without warning. In IE8 I cannot avoid the warning. I have installed the certificate into every single store without success using both the MMC and cert manager in IE8. WHAT AM I MISSING?!

回答1:

Add the site to trusted sites. Then you will have the option to install the certificate after clicking the Certificate error box and then View Certificate.

回答2:

Which certificate are you trying to install?

You must install the ROOT certificate, not the END-ENTITY certificate which is signed by that self-signed root. It should go in the Trusted Root Certification authorities store.

1. Make sure your cert's CommonName matches the domain name. For example, if you website will be accessed at 'https://www.example.com', CommonName should be 'www.example.com'. If this doesn't match, nothing you do in the second and third step will matter.

2. Run IE8 in administrator mode and navigate to your HTTPS URL. Continue beyond warning, then view the site's cert to access the 'Install Certificate' button.

3. Add the cert to Trusted Root CA Certificates.

4. Restart IE8 in protected mode then navigate to your HTTPS URL again. All warnings should be gone.

I could not install the certificate from IE. I had to finally use MMC (Management Console). Instructions here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757688(v=ws.10).aspx
