I'm trying to add SSL to my site
at the last step when I'm processing the certificate
request
the system popup windows saying:
FAILED TO INSTALL THE CERTIFICATE
KEYSET DOESNOT EXIST
what is the hell is Key set and why does not exist
I was thingking assigning certificate to web site in 5
min job !!!! its more than 5 hours till now
Thanks

I believe the keyset refers to the public/private keypair needed for pki.
Where did you request the certificate from? You can check for it's existence and
examine it's properties in the machine store of the computer via mmc certificate
snapin. --- Steve
