I need to set up SSL over Active Directory. I googled a lot but could not found a decent write up about how to do this. Please if you know some good resources about this let me know. Thanks!

Sounds easy - but I ran into quite a few problems getting trusted connections with SSL working in our environment. The article was about ADAM but is just as applicable for AD. In our environment I couldn't install domain-related services like cert-server, nor act as domain-admin.

I blogged about how I got this working a while back

Dan and Erlend's postings were invaluable.

Took some backflips to get it done.
