Hi

We have two web servers running on Win2003 Standard.One is for production
and the second for testing. The have different IPs, but the public URL is
the same. From time to time we switch public IP (our company web site)to
second private IP server for testing purposes, and then back to the first
web server.
Can we use the same SSL (HTTPS) web certificate (issued by Versign) for both
of the servers for our company domain? If yes, how can this be done on a
second server in IIS?
Regards,Miha

Yes, it can be done.

Using the MMC Certificate snap-in, export the certificate (be sure to get
both the public and private keys) to the hard drive.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779668%28WS.10%29.aspx

If you did this already, and didn't mark the private key "exportable" you
will be unable to copy the certificate in this way.

Just move the file like any other file.

In IIS certificates wizard, choose "import a certificate" (or similar).

The certificates care about the URL matching up, and having the public and
private key. They don't care about the IP.

Note, the certificate should be considered sensitive information and
protected from ending up "out in the wild"

I would also suggest you read the Verisign licensing terms - certificates
are normally specified as only being allowed to be used on a single server,
and to use on additional servers there will be an additional licensing fee.
