Installed SSL certificate in certificate store, but it's not in IIS certificate list

Question

After installation of a wildcard SSL certificate into the certificate store, the certificate does not appear in the IIS certificate list for use with site bindings.

Answer 1

We had a similar issue on our team trying to apply a wildcard certificate on our new VM.

So it might be a different situation were we were trying to copy our existing certificate to a new VM, but ended up with the same problem( certificate missing from IIS certificate list).

This article (link below) helped us:

So what did the trick was to export the certificate from the original server and include the private key during the export process( add a password to protect your certificate)

then import it to the new server where you want to install the certificate. Mark the key as exportable so that it can be exported later on.

I do not want to do a step by step since its well documented in the article.
