QUESTION

How can I generate and convert keys and certificates?

ANSWER

The server's Certificate Creation wizard guides you through the process of creating keys and certificates without using a command line. If you prefer, you can use Microsoft IIS to generate a certificate. Refer to the link below for details of how to do this.
