IE7 and untrusted SSL Certs

[Jay]

I run my own exchange server and I have a self issued SSL cert (None tursted) In firefox it warns me that its not from a trusted source, I install it and then it never bothers me again. In IE7 it says that its not safe, I install it and the next time I go to the website it says the same!

I have installed it using Admin rights and it just keeps doing this all the time.

Does anyone else have this issue and know of a way for IE7 to accept installed SSL certs?

EDIT

the exact error is this...

The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority

I have worked this one out. You have to install it and then maunaly add the site to your trusted sites list in IE7 (including the https://)... what a stupid setup that is!

Self signed certs are a bit of a PITA!
However, I've never bought a trusted cert and played with installing it to a server yet. But it does sound like you've sorted this.
Was going to ask if it was XP or vista you were getting this error too?

[Jay]

Vista.

The certs are used to encrypt the login for webmail so its better than nothing!

Aye, With Vista you need to dump the cert in a specific cert store on the machine for it to play right - found this out when I couldn't get Outlook over RPC working on a vista machine!
