Obtaining a Server Certificate From a Certification Authority

NOTE:

If you are replacing your current server certificate, the Internet Information Services (IIS) continues to use

the old certificate until the new request has been completed.

Find a certification authority that provides services that meet your business needs, and then request a server certificate.

NOTE:

For the latest list of certification authorities supporting IIS, see the Microsoft Security website. In the By

Category list, select Certification Authority Services.

To obtain a server certificate, perform the following steps:

1. On the PowerVault NAS Manager primary menu, click Maintenance.

2. On the Maintenance page, click Terminal Services.

3. Log on to a Terminal Services Advanced Client session.

4. In the Advanced Administration Menu, click System Management, and then from the list, click Internet

Information Services.

5. Navigate to and right-click the Administration site section, and then select Properties.

6. Under Secure Communications on the Directory Security property sheet, click Server Certificate to access

the Web Server Certificate Wizard.

7. Use the Web Server Certificate Wizard to create a certificate request.

8. Send the certificate request to the certification authority.

The CA processes the request and sends you the certificate.

NOTE:

Some certification authorities require you to prove your identity before processing your request or

issuing you a certificate.

9. Use the Web Server Certificate Wizard to install your certificate.
