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

  1. 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.

  2. On the Welcome page of Microsoft Certificate Services, click Request a certificate.
  3. On the Request a Certificate page, click advanced certificate request.
  4. 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).

  5. On the Submit a Request or Renewal Request page, paste the certificate request into the Saved Request field, and click Submit.

    (Paste the certificate request that you copied in the last step of the procedure Creating a server certificate signing request for the server.)

  6. From the Certificate Issued page, select Base 64 encoded, and click Download certificate.
    noteNote

    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.

  7. From the File download dialog box, save the certificate to your computer.
