The Certificate Authority providing your certificate (such as DigiCert) does not create or have your private key. If you have not yet installed your certificate, then the most likely location of your private key is on the computer or server where you generated the CSR. Aug 18, 2015 Navigate to the correct Certificate Store (typically 'Personal' or 'Web Hosting') to find the desire certificate. Right-click the desired certificate and go to All Tasks Export. Proceed through the Certificate Export Wizard, selecting 'Yes, export the private key'. If your private key was recovered successfully, your Server Certificate installation is complete. If the private key was not recovered successfully, you will need to generate a new Certificate Signing Request and submit it to Entrust Datacard to have your certificate re-issued, or re-issue the certificate using your ECS Enterprise account.
Jun 04, 2017 Depending on how you generate your certificate you might need to use the private key that IIS used to create this CSR. Here’s how to extract it: Open Microsoft Management Console by typing mmc on the Start Menu or Run window. There add the Certificates add-in on File. Create / Purchase certificate. Make sure it has a private key. Import the certificate into the 'Local Computer' account. Best to use Certificates MMC. Make sure to check 'Allow private key to be exported' IIS Website is running under ApplicationPoolIdentity. Export Certificate and Private Key from a Microsoft IIS 6.0 server. Part 1: Create an MMC Snap-in for Managing Certificates. From the Web server, click Start Run. Export the Certificate with Private Key attached. Open the Certificates (Local Computer).
IIS Setup to access a certificate private key

Hi,
Service primary key avoid auto generate. This is a copy of a post here (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/a92e8040-459e-4754-b464-4f8354b75cb8/iis-setup-to-access-a-certificate-private-key?forum=ws2016) that I was advised to post in this forum:
I have two servers running Windows Server 2016 and both are hosting IIS (one on AWS but I think that is a detail)
My IIS hosted website establishes a connection to a third party socket using a client certificate. In order to do this I have the certificate stored in the LOCAL_MACHINEMY store and grant access to the private key using the MMC snap in to the AppPoolIdentity account. The certificate was marked as exportable when I imported it.
I should also say the certificate in question is authorised by reference to another root certificate also stored in the same store and for which I do not have the private key.
I am finding that, when I run my website using the AppPool identity I get the following error:
If I run the same site with the LocalSystem account it all works fine.
Where else do I need to change permissions to allow this key to be used? Specific files? Something on the root certificate or the certificate store? What can I change in logging to get greater insight?
Thanks
Mark
The following instructions will guide you through the CSR generation process on Microsoft IIS 7. To learn more about CSRs and the importance of your private key, reference our Overview of Certificate Signing Request article. If you already generated the CSR and received your trusted SSL certificate, reference our SSL Installation Instructions and disregard the steps below.
1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Windows server 2012 license key generator. Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and then select Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Select the server where you want to generate the certificate
In the left Connections menu, select the server name (host) where you want to generate the request.
3. Navigate to Server Certificates
In the center menu, click the Server Certificates icon under the Security section near the bottom.
4. Select Create a New Certificate
In the right Actions menu, click Create Certificate Request.
5. Enter your CSR details
In the Distinguished Name Properties window, enter in the required CSR details and then click Next.
Note: To avoid common mistakes when filling out your CSR details, reference our Overview of Certificate Signing Request article.
6. Select a cryptographic service provider and bit length
In the Cryptographic Service Provider Properties window, select Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider and Bit Length of 2048, then click Next.
Note: Bit Length: 2048 is the current industry standard. You may choose a larger key size, but only if you have a requirement to do so, as longer key lengths increase latency and may reduce compatibility.
7. Save the CSR
Click Browse to specify the location where you want to save the CSR as a “.txt” file and click Finish.
8. Generate the order
Iis Csr Private Key
Locate and open the newly created CSR from the specified location you choose in a text editor such as Notepad and copy all the text including:
Return to the Generation Form on our website and paste the entire CSR into the blank text box and continue with completing the generation process.
Upon generating your CSR, your order will enter the validation process with the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) and require the certificate requester to complete some form of validation depending on the certificate purchased. For information regarding the different levels of the validation process and how to satisfy the industry requirements, reference our validation articles.
After you complete the validation process and receive the trusted SSL Certificate from the issuing Certificate Authority (CA), proceed with the next step using our SSL Installation Instructions for Microsoft IIS 7.
