I have some users that work remotely and i would like to allow them to sent e-mails using out SMTP server. i bought an SSL to use to encrypt their credentials when authenticating with SMTP on our e-mail server. my question is how do i create the CSR needed to setup the SSL that i purchased.
i looked online all i fins is info on how to create CSR for Exchange 2007.
any help will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Again,
i'm not using this SSL for a website, i'm not even using IIS on that server. this SSL cert i'm using it for Exchange 2000, it's for authentication of outside users to the SMTP server.

thanks for the help, but i think i'm just not getting this.
ok, I have an exchang 2000, I don't have any websites hosted by IIS, i'm not even using IIS, second i'm not using Outlook OWA either, all i have is Exchange with Smtp, and users that work from their home, they need to use our SMTP server to send out. and the SSL is solely to authenticate them with the SMTP server before sending. all the instruction on those links point to how to set up SSL fro a website.

any help is appreciated.
