How to give IIS (6.1) in Windows 7 access to certificate in LocalMachine (storeLocation) and My (storeName)?


I have installed a cert. In Manage Private Keys I have added everything. Even then a web app hosted in IIS can't request successfully. The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel error. This is only in Windows 7. Adding IIS_USRS in private key access works fine in Windows Server 2008. Any leads please?

I have seen almost everything about this and still can't figure it out.

Update: It is x.509 .p12 file.
