Testing SSL locally without a Certificate on XP

jc
I recall being able to test SSL without a certificate on win 2000.

However, on XP sp2 under IIS I can't seem to Add new websites so I'm
limited to the one Website. I can create new virtual directories under
the default website, but I can't seem to add SSL security to a test
web service I've created under the default site..

Thank you but XP pro sp 2 does not seem to allow me to install Certs.
I was looking at the guide http://www.somacon.com/p41.php, and for me
on IIS server certificate button is not enabled.

And do I really need PHP if I can use .NETs makecert

That's strange, but with SelfSSL you don't need to go anywhere near IIS
configuration...

Forget PHP
Forget MakeCert
Use SelfSSL - it's just a single CLI command to install an SSL certificate
for your local machine...

But I still need to enable the Cert in IIS for a particular site
right?

Thanks.
