Hi, I need some help on getting an SSL certificate for SQL Server Reporting Services. I've been trying to get it working but I find that the certificates that I import into the certificate store do not have a private key and therefor will not bind in Reporting Services. I have scoured the Internet in every which way and to my surprise, there seems to be no up to date directions for requesting and loading a certificate for an encrypted connection in the modern (post IIS) SSRS. I have been using the below process to create a csr which the security team uses to create a certificate.Is the below process missing a step? If so what, if not, how do I bring the certificate that is issued to me into the certificate store so that it includes a private key?I just can't seem to grap the process in any of the available documentation. Appreciate any help.1. Open the management console (click Start > Search programs and files > mmc.msc).2. Open your Local Computer certificates (click File > Add/Remove Snap-in... > Certificates > Computer account > Next > Local computer > Finish).3.
