On point 4; no. Never ever do this. ASP.NET is not run as LocalSystem for very good reasons, it’s as high in the security context as you can get, and should IIS be compromised your entire machine is then wide open.

Instead run your process as normal (Network Service or a custom account) and grant read access to the SSL certificate instead.

I’ve put together the steps you need to take on my blog this afternoon; http://idunno.org/archive/2007/07/01/giving-your-web-site-process-access-to-your-ssl-certificate.aspx
