CERTIFICATE PROBLEM WHILE ENABLING SSL ON SQL SERVER 2005

Hi ,

How do we install a certificate for enabling security on MS -SQL Server 2005?
I tried to install through MMC but it says no " certificate authority found " . Any
help will be highly appreciated , Thanks to you all in advance :-)

You should look at this article but are you sure your problem is missing certificate authority. Can you detail the steps you are using one by one.

for additional information about what type of SSL certificate SQL Server supports and how to configure SQL Server to use the SSL certificate.
