I require a digital signature and private key for uploading onto a
router/gateway in order to provide ssl connectivity for the web interface of
the gateway through which users will log on to gain access to the Internet.

The digital signature has to have a "CRT" extension and the private key
requires a "KEY" extension.

How can I do this using Windows Server 2003 SP1?

Users of the gateway will log on the gateway from a public LAN and the
gateway will verify log on details via RADIUS using the Windows 2003 Server
on a Private Network.

Thank you for your assistance

The extension is somewhat indicative, but what you really need to know is
the format of the data that it expects. There are at least two common
formats that fit into a CRT extension, for instance, and a number of
different private key formats. Your router / gateway should be able to
specify what format it wants, not just the extensions.

I have contacted the manufacturer of my router/gateway and been informed
that I need to create a certificate saved using base64 encoding, is this all
the information I need in order to create a digital certificate and private
key for uploading onto the router/gateway?

And, how do I do this using Windows Server 2003 SP1.

The digital certificate is for use in a private environment and I am can
quite comfortable in using our own server as a Root CA, I just don't know
how to do it.

see below for the full story...
