Creating an AE Services server certificate (Microsoft-based procedure)
About this task
If you use Microsoft Certificate Services as the certificate authority,
use this procedure as a guide for creating an AE Services server certificate.
Procedure
From your Web browser,
type the URL of your certificate server. For example:
http://<certificate_server.com>/certsrv
where <certificate_server.com> is the domain name or IP address of your certificate server.
On the Welcome page of Microsoft Certificate Services, click Request a certificate.
On the Request a Certificate page, click advanced certificate request.
On the Advanced Certificate
Request page, click Submit a certificate
request by using a base-64-encoded CMC or PKCS #10 file or Submit
a renewal request by using a base-64-encoded PKCS #7 file.
(AE Services uses a base-64-encoded CMC).
On the Submit a Request or Renewal Request page, paste the certificate
request into the Saved Request field, and click Submit.
From the Certificate Issued page, select Base 64 encoded, and click Download certificate.
Note
Some CAs are not set up to automatically grant certificates. In
this case, you might have to wait until your administrator issues
the certificate. Once your administrator issues the certificate, return
to the Welcome page of Microsoft Certificate Services, and click View the status of
a pending certificate request to get to the Issued Certificate page.
From the File download dialog box, save the certificate to your
computer.
