191363 2003-11-12 20:06:00 Well, uh... yes

If I download the OpenSSL source code from www.openssl.org, and compile it using DevC++ under Windows, does that in theory allow me to use HTTPS connections with IIS?

Does anyone know how I would import/add the compiled OpenSSL stuff to IIS, so it can accept connections on port 443? And how about self-signing my CSR thingie that IIS can generate. I found something which said to self-sign certificates you should port the CSR file to Linux, sign it, and port it back to Windows... would I be able to use Cygwin instead of Linux (because the thing I read made it look like you just needed to run 'openssl'...)

Any help here would be appreciated, thanks.

GnuWin32 (sourceforge.net) has OpenSSL which you need the source and binary files to create the private key and sign the certificate.

You should also get ActivePerl (www.activestate.com) to run perl scripts on your machine.

Harder for me to write the tutorial so I dug up this...
