Install SSL certificate for RDP on Windows 2003?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816794#3 worked for me... ...that is from "Import the Certificate into the Local Computer Store" steps:

10: In the left pane of the console, double-click Certificates (Local Computer).
11: Right-click Personal, point to All Tasks, and then click Import ... etc

Previous attempts of double clicking on certificate (.cer) file itself and importing into the Microsoft certificate store (CAPI) didn't work for me - this led to an empty list of certificates to choose from from edit Certificate on the General tab of RDP-Tcp Properties from within Terminal Services Configuration.

Although I imported a certificate requested from an Entrust Certificate Authority (CA) as opposed to a selfSSL certificate this shouldn't make any difference...

Hello. My friends call me SegFault. Describe myself in 10 seconds? You know those feisty, whip-smart, sometimes funny, and occasionally charming developers who dominate StackOverflow and consider Swift/Ruby/jQuery their native tongue? Yah, I buy coffee for them.
