While trying to establish a secure SSL connection for a webservice i encountered the problem that IIS did load the certificate but when trying to access the service with some other program the SSL connection timed out. Though IIS did somehow indicate that this URL needed a SSL connection (in comparison: if i tried to connect by some other port than 443 with an SSL request i didn't get a timeout), i can't figure out the problem, cause i can view the certificate in windows regulary and assume it is correct. I used several tools and methods to create the certificate but all ways failed.
