Installing a server certificate from another vendor

Procedure

  1. From your browser, go to your certificate authority’s Web page for requesting a server certificate.
  2. Complete the required fields for enrollment. Usually this includes contact information, such as your name, email address, your organizational unit (OU), and so on.

    When you are providing the name and IP address for the server, use this rule of thumb. If you are using Enterprise Edition, use the fully qualified domain name and IP address of your pool; if you are using Standard Edition use the fully qualified domain name and IP of your server.

  3. Import the server certificate. For information about importing certificates and using the certreq utility, see Using a Public Certificate, in Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 Certificate Configuration.
  4. For Microsoft Live Communications Server, continue with the steps for Configuring the certificate for automatic routing for Microsoft Live Communications Server.
  5. For Microsoft Office Communications Server, continue with the steps for Configuring the certificate for automatic routing for Microsoft Office Communications Server.
