    • The first step to configure Microsoft Active Directory for SSL access is to set up a stand-alone Certificate Authority (CA).

    Antes de Iniciar

    Role required: admin

    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    Do not worry about addition resource utilization because both of the required services (IIS & CA) can be disabled after issuing the certificate(s).

    Procedimento

    1. Install Internet Information Server (IIS).
    2. Install Certificate Authority Services in stand-alone mode.
    3. Verify the Certificate Services web application is installed and active.

    O que Fazer Depois

    Using the IIS Manager console, expand the local computer and select Web Sites. The state of Default Web Site should be Running. You should also see a CertSrv application listed under the Default Web Site. If the site is not running or the application is missing, you must resolve the issue before you proceed.
