Creating a server
certificate for AE Services (generic procedure)
About this task
If you are using a third-party certificate authority other than
Microsoft Certificate Services, refer to this procedure. This procedure
is provided as a guide only and should be used in conjunction with
the instructions on your CA Web site.
Procedure
From your browser,
go to your CA’s Web page for requesting a server certificate.
Complete the required
fields for enrollment.
Usually you provide information such as your name, email address,
the IP address of your server, your organizational unit (OU), and
the type of server you have.
Paste the CSR into
the appropriate field and submit or upload the request.
The certificate authority processes your request and issues a server
certificate for you to download.
Download the certificate
to your AE Services administrative workstation, and save it with a unique
name (for example C:\aescert.cer).
Important
The certificate data you import into AE Services must be PEM-encoded (Base 64). If your CA issues certificates
in DER format, you must convert it to PEM format before importing
it into AE Services. See Converting a DER file to PEM for more information.
