Does anyone know if it is possible to install Microsoft's
Certificate Server on XP Professional to enable the
operation of IIS SSL by using self generated certificates?

Thanks in advance.
 
It is not possible to install Certificate Server on any version of XP. A
self generated certificate would be of little use since no other
computer/browser would "trust" that certificate anyway. You can see what
CA's your computer trusts if you look in tools/internet
options/content/certificates/trusted root CA's. --- Steve
 
You may want to use an *ivalid* certificate for encryption purposes only
though.
By invalid, I mean not linked to a trusted authority.
 
Certificate Services is an optional component of Microsoft's server
operating systems. It cannot be installed on Windows XP
