I need to create a self-signed SSL certificate on an intranet server that is running IIS. I'm logged in remotely to the server as admin and am opening IIS Manager as admin, and choosing Server Certificates then "Create Self-Signed Certificate" in the Actions pane of IIS Manager; but when I get to the point where the self-signed certificate is saved to Personal or Web Hosting, there is an "access denied" error, no matter which of the two is chosen. How to accomplish this task?

  • You will have to escalate this to your domain administrators. No one here can help much without accessing that machine. – Lex Li Aug 03 '22 at 23:09
  • I found a way to do it using PowerShell. Not sure why IIS wouldn't let me save the cert. – Tim Aug 04 '22 at 01:41
  • I would use the command prompt. Adding IIS Manager is adding unnecessary complexity. – Greg Askew Aug 04 '22 at 07:19

You will need to grant read/write permissions to the administrator user of folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys.

This should work.
