Information/Steps

The certificate should be installed using the Vhost name on each server that is a member of the Vhost. Once that is complete, you should go to the server where the instance is active and modify the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.x\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Certificate

The registry is replicated to the instances SQL Data Root upon changes, so no further action is needed to have the setting persist on failover or re-host to another server.
