Have you tried the automated script I noted at the bottom of the article?

Micaman on Create a CA Chain without installing a Certificate Authority

Hi there,
when trying your commands, i got a "-privatekey" unknown argument error... I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

I have another problem:
When I use the export wizard to generate the .PFX file from a certificate everything is ok, but when i try to do the same using the "certutil" command, the generated .PFX file is somehow different from the created by the wizard... Don't both application should do the same?

There must be someting wrong with my certutil command, because the generated file is only 2kb (.pfx filesize) and the one created by the wizard has 3kb.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help and for the post

Thats a lot better than before. The new wordpress also has highlighted code in the themes making it much more easier to work with.

Awesome this saved me a lot of time.

A couple of things to be aware of:
- add this where your postView.ascx control where you want the print link to appear:
<a target="print" href="/printerFriendly.aspx?id=<%=Post.Id %>" title="Print <%=Server.HtmlEncode(Post.Title) %>">Print</a>

- Add this to the header of PrinterFriendly.aspx to get the print dialog to pop up:
<script type="text/javascript">window.onload = function () {
javascript:print();}
</script>

Nevermind, I figured out that it was because I was not showing the whole article.

Ben on Claim your BlogEngine.Net Blog at Technorati

I don't think this issue is fixed. I had to comment out the line for Technorati to be able to read my blog. Until I commented out the same line as in the article, Technorati would not update my blog information.

For what it's worth, I used the Webroot spy sweeper to get rid of this thing. I cannot believe that I had a big enough brain fart to click it.

Jetski on So you think you know about technology?

Jetski — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:17:22 -1000

Yes I have heard of it. It is one of those things like the geek heirarchy http://www.brunching.com/geekhierarchy.html or The Chruch of the Underachiever AKA Cult of Bob. If you were a college student that dorked out on computers in late 80's thru early 90's you were probably exposed to it somewhere. More of a geek culture thing than a computer professional thing in my opinion. You may have skipped it because while you are a computer professional and hobbiest, you never got into the Mountain Dew fueled geek religion. Heck man - you did not even know whaat an LP MUD or a MUSH was...computer geek staples back in the day.

Another clue....the file name noted in the email starts with "officexp." We're on Office 2003/2007.

I see these problems often. I had a lady that was feeding the raccoons and one stuck aroung and in the spring broke into her attic and had a litter of raccoon pups behind her bathtub. I still did not figure how she made her way from the attic to the tub but we removed mom and 7 pups. I know they are cute, I love them to death but dont underestamate the power of a raccoon.

Not sure I follow... an HTTP proxy that doesn't accept HTTP CONNECT requests? Isn't that the point of a HTTP Proxy Server?
