Trust for a (locally-issued) Certificate Authority prasen67 11-01-2006

I order to use SSL with web services I need to open the SSL connection
in IE without any dialogs or warnings. A web service can not ask the
user to accept the certificate that's why it fails to open the
connection and I get this error ""Could not establish secure channel
for SSL/TLS"

We have created/issued our own Certificate and installed it under
Trusted Root CAs.

Even though I install the certificate correctly each time, I am always
prompted to trust the certificate each time I browse to the Orders Web
Service.

So we don't have implicit trust.

How can we issue a certificate and install it so Windows 2003 will
trust it implicity (i.e. the SSL connection in IE without any dialogs
or warnings)?

Thanks in advance!

A couple of solutions are possible:
1) Create a GPO that adds your root certificate to the Trusted Root
Authorities GPO.
2) Publish the certificate into AD so it is trusted by all Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and WIndows 2k3 clients in the forest.
certutil -dspublish -f <rootcert.cer> RootCA
