Solution

  • The common reason behind the issue is when the imported certificate doe s not have a private key associated with it or its broken because of some reason.

    to resolve the issue you could try to import the .CER file to your system(from where the certificate is requested) personal store and export it with a private key. Then copy the .pfx file to the required server and import it from the server certificate option under IIS. This would fix the issue.
