Creating a server certificate for AE Services by using a Microsoft-based procedure
About this task
If you use Microsoft Certificate Services as the certificate authority,
use this procedure as a guide for creating a server certificate for AE Services.
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 input field, select a template with clientAuth
and serverAuth in the Certificate Template field,
and then 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.
