SSL Certs

[MarkA]

Hi there

I'm installing some software that requires a cert for the internal communication from client > server.

An SSL cert seems to be required and it needs to contain the FQDN of pool that it uses. I have added the required SRV/DNS records for it but I am unable to start the services until the SSL cert is in place.

How do I go about getting an Internal SSL cert working with this?
I'm not sure if I can use self signed ones, hopefully I can.

Either way, I'm not sure how to create a self signed cert that has my internal name such as pool.domain.local

Whats the normal way of doing this?
Must I go to a CA and purchase one? If so, where's the cheapest?

Yep,

You are correct, office communications server it is.
It was a pain in the ass until just a few minutes ago.
Finally found the place in IIS where I could create a self cert for this very task.
Worked a treat!
However, when trying to use the web access to sign in, the server asking for a certificate in a window labelled:

Choose a digital certificate:
Identification
The website you want to view requests identification.
Please choose a certificate.

However, there are no certificates to select.
Any ideas?
