How do I export a certificate from Microsoft® IIS?
- Click 'Start', choose 'Run'. Type 'mmc', press 'OK'.
- In the MMC console, click the 'File' menu, and choose 'Add/Remove Snap-In'.
- Click the 'Add' button, then select 'Certificates' from the list and click 'Add'.
- From the next menu, select 'Computer account'. Click 'Next', select 'Local computer' then click 'Finish'. Click 'Close' then 'OK'. You will be back at the main MMC console.
- Expand the tree 'Certificates (Local Computer)' and click the 'Personal' sub-folder.
- Locate the certificate you wish to export. Right-click the certificate, choose 'All Tasks' > 'Export'. A wizard will begin.
- Click 'Next'. Choose 'Yes, export the private key'. Click 'Next'. Note: if this option is unavailable, the key cannot be exported. You will need to generate a new request and install a new certificate before it can be exported.
- Select 'Personal Information Exchange - PKCS #12 (.PFX)'. Make sure the only checked box is 'Include all certificates in the certification path if possible'. Click 'Next'.
- Enter a password twice. This is the password to protect the file and is needed to import the certificate later. Click 'Next'.
- Choose a location and filename for the exported file. Click 'Next'.
- Click 'Finish'. The wizard will complete and export the certificate and key to the location specified.
