Trusted Root Certification Authorities are entities licensed to issue digital certificates automatically
trusted by most web browsers, for use by other parties. A Root Certificate identifies the Root
Certificate Authority (CA) by means of a digital signature. Subsequent to the generation of the
CSR, select a Trusted Root Certification Authority and proceed with the chosen authority
enrollment process.
Since FHO is accessed via IE, a CA trusted by Microsoft should be applied.
A list of CAs whose root certificates are distributed via the Windows Root Certificate Program is

NOTE
The enrollment process may vary for different

b. The server platform
c. The Organization, Organizational Unit, Locality/City, State and Country
d. Payment information and a contact for invoicing

Upon completion of the enrollment process, the Certification Authority proceeds with the
authentication process.
Once the information is validated, the SSL Certificate is issued, according to the selected CA
policy.
