Can’t export Private Key /w Digital Cert

by scootermessa . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

Windows 2000 SP4 + most crit security patches,etc.

Received a digital certificate for a web site, but it doesn’t work (Page can not be displayed).

Tech support says either our firewall is blocking thier sever from sending private key transmission (worked forever, dont really suspect this but I don’t know much about certificates and keys) or the PC is messed up.

When we try to export the digital certificate from IE suing the export wizard, the “Yes, export the private key” option is grey.

Similar behavior in this article:

Any ideas what’s up and what can be done?
