Its an ASP.Net project and IIS V6.0
I appreciate all your help :)
Thanks a lot!
You can use the makecert.exe
tool to create a self-signed certificate. The following command line should do:
makecert -r -pe -n CN="www.example.com" -b 05/10/2010 -e 12/22/2011 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss my -sr localmachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12
For further details and examples see the documentation of makecert.
If you can get the IIS6 Resource Kit, you can use a tool therein to create one. More info:
