I’m in the process of moving Lake Quincy Media’s web site from one server to another, and since it uses SSL to secure users’ data, I had to move the certificate to the new server as part of the server move. Fortunately, this process is quite painless. First, you need to export the certificate to a .pfx file and give it a password, using these steps:
1. Start, Run, MMC (I did it as administrator)
2. Go to File –> Add/Remove Snap-in
3. Click on Certificates and Add
4. You want Local Computer. Click Finish
5. Click OK to close the Add/Remove Snap-in wizard
6. Expand the Certificates (Local Computer) tree.
7. Open the Personal – Certificates section.
8. You should see your certificate(s) listed. Right click the one you want to backup and choose All Tasks –> Export.
