How to: Create Certificates for Service Broker Transport Security (Transact-SQL)

To set up Service Broker transport security for an instance of SQL Server, you first create a certificate in the master database by using the Transact-SQL CREATE CERTIFICATE statement. This statement creates both a public key and a private key. You can also use the CREATE CERTIFICATE statement to load an existing X.509 certificate. For more information on creating certificates, see CREATE CERTIFICATE (Transact-SQL). After creating the certificate, use the CREATE ENDPOINT or ALTER ENDPOINT statement to set the Service Broker endpoint to use the new certificate.
