I am running NT server 4.0 SP6a, Exchange 5.5 SP3, and IIS 4.0. The sole purpose of this server is Outlook Web Access. I have successfully configured the server inside my Watchguard firewall, and have access to it across the net. I am now attemptingto obtain a certificate from Verisign. I have followed the instructions to generate the CSR, but at the very end of the procedure I receive the error "unable to generate a new key request", with no other information. Any help would be appreciated.

Versign uses SSL 2.0. SSL has to have an open port on the firewall and it could be that the request is terminating at Versign but the response is never accepted cause it times out on the firewall. Try to open the HTTPS port on the firewall. adn check the encryption protocol you have (SSL 2.0 or less) cause if it is less it will not work. Good luck.
