We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
When you install an SSL certificate on an IIS server using Setkey.exe, you may get the following error message:

Error: keycheck failed 0x8009030e



CAUSE
There are two possible causes for this error:


 * The Keypair file or the certificate file used with setkey is not valid or is corrupt.
 * The certificate file (the text message sent to you by the Certificate Authority containing the SSL certificate) was saved in Unicode format.



RESOLUTION
Make sure the certificate was not saved in Unicode format. Open the certificate using Notepad.exe and select Save As. Make sure that Save File as Type is set to Text Files (*.txt) not Unicode Files.

If the file was saved in Unicode format, click Save As on the File menu and re-save it as text.

If the above resolution does not fix the problem, the certificate may need to be re-generated and resubmitted to the Certificate Authority.
