re: About Creating SSL certificates IIS 5.1

There is a Internet Information Services Resource Kit for (IIS) 6.0 that will let you deploy SSL certificates.

From what I gather the instructions are to:

• Download the resource kit....
• Install the resource kit (requires Windows Server 2003, Windows XP)
• From the Windows Start Menu, go to the "\Programs\IIS Resources\SelfSSL" folder and select "SelfSSL".
• A command prompt will appear with instructions: Type "selfssl" to run the program.
• Type "y" to confirm overriding/installing the certificate on the given site.
• Test that it by visiting https://localhost/.

This link looks very helpful too...
