Unable to install different SSL certificate


Recommended Posts

I'm unable to replace the default self-signed SSL certificate in a Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 environment. Using the Admin tool, I can select a newly generated self-signed certificate, enter the password but then receive the following message: 

 

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Invalid provider type specified.
 
 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
 
Here's how I generate the certificate using PowerShell:
 
PS>New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName my.domain.name -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -> Return succes and fingerprint id
PS>$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "123" -Force -AsPlainText
PS>Export-PfxCertificate -Cert Cert:\LocalMachine\My\FingerPrintGeneratedCertificate -Password $pwd -FileName my.domain.name.pfx
 
Even if I use the certmgr.msc for exporting with private key and with/without extended properties, I still cannot change the ssl certificate and receive the same message all over again.
 
Is the format generated by the tools on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 too new? What am I doing wrong?
