title: SHA 2 SSL certificate on IIS 6
body: <p>I am in a bit of a sticky situation. At my work we are using Windows 2003 IIS 6 to host a legacy but critical website and now I need to renew the SSL certificate with SHA2 which is basically incompatible with Windows 2003 IIS 6. </p>
  
  <p>In an ideal world I would migrate to a Windows 2008 server but sadly this is not possible because it is a legacy system that runs other bespoke legacy software and I don't have the ability to upgrade the OS. Also I am a web developer for a company where the network/I.T. manager resigned.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get round this? I have had the idea that I would disable SSL on IIS 6 and install a simple NodeJs proxy server with SSL to locally target the IIS 6 site (IIS6 HTTP to NodeJs HTTPS). Does know if this would work or have any better idea?</p>
  
  <p>Kind regards,</p>
  
  <p>Robin</p>
