Media mount error issues

Use the information in this topic to troubleshoot media mount error issues.

When using security certificates generated by Microsoft IIS, you may encounter errors during the mounting process. If this occurs, replace the security certificate with a new one generated by openssl. Specifically, the newly generated pfx file is loaded into the Microsoft IIS server.

Below is an example showing how the new security certificate is generated via openssl in the Linux operating system.

$ openssl

$ openssl genrsa 1024 > server.key
