Creating a custom Certificate Template

About this task

Use this procedure to create a template that can be used when assigning certificates to the Microsoft Lync Server. The template you create will contain the Client and Server Authentication Policies required by AE Services. This procedure assumes the use of a Microsoft 2008 or Microsoft Server 2012 Certificate Authority (CA) Server. If you are using another vendors CA, use this as a general guide and consult the documentation for the CA Server.

Procedure

  1. Access the Windows 2008 or Windows Server 2012 CA Server Console, and run the CA MMC snap-in or access Start > Administrative Tools > Certificate Authority.
  2. Expand the CA Server in the left pane, and then right-click on the Certificate Templates folder in the left pane.
  3. Select Manage.
  4. Right-click RAS and IAS Server, and select duplicate template.
    noteNote

    RAS and IAS template was chosen for this example because it includes Client and Server Authentication Application Policies required by Avaya AE Services. You should select a template that meets the needs of your environment which also satisfies Avaya AE Services requirements.

  5. On the General tab in the Properties of New Template dialog box, give the template a unique name like AE Services and then click Apply and OK.
