  I have read all the Microsoft white papers on setting up this connection... However I can't find anywhere on how to create the certificate.  I want to sign it myself and use it privately.  The thing is, inside of SQL config mgr / protocols / certification tab there are no certificate visible... How can I create this certificate?  Can't I just use OpenSSL to create a test certificate?  by the way SQL is running as a user account with no admin privilages.
