You have to create a certificate in the master db first.

I used a self signed cert example:

USE MASTER;

CREATE CERTIFICATE testlogincert

ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'pounlmdsf'

WITH SUBJECT = 'your login',

EXPIRY_DATE = '12/31/2012';

GO

And then map a user to it.

CREATE LOGIN 'your login' FROM CERTIFICATE testlogincert;

GO

Dear Allex

When I run the first query then it gives this warning message:

Warning: The certificate you created is not yet valid; its start date is in the future.

and 2nd query is not working.

Thanx

Thanks

hi i tried it on my machine it worked perfectly fine without any errors. by the way in the syntax given by Alex has an expiry date and not start date, for which you are getting error. Also once you get that resolved when you try to run 2nd part you have to put username without single quotes.
