You have a server named Server1 that has the Web Server (IIS) server role installed. You obtain a Web Server certificate. You need to configure a website on
Server1 to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). To which store should you import the certificate? Hot Area:

Hi,
I would say also either
Personal or Web Hosting
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26681192/whats-the-difference-between-the-personal-and-web-hosting-certificate-store
could anyone confirm this?
I’ve heard of different variation of this type of question, so let me try to make it easy for everyone:
If you get a certificate for any services requiring a certificate, on the server hosting that service it would go in the PERSONAL store of the local computer.
For any client computer that needs a certificate to connect to the server to use the services, you would put the certificate of the CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY who distributed the certificate for the server into the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities
The granted certificate of the server would NOT go on a client server, ever. Only the Certificate of the CA that created the certificate for the server.
This is how I understand this situation, correct me if I’m wrong.
