Introduction to Certificate Services
Certificate Services are used to issue signed digital certificates to network hosts.
The certificates are used to establish SSL connections with the host and verify
the authenticity of the host.
Installing Certificate Services allows Active Directory to receive a certificate that
allows Lights-Out processors to connect to the directory service. Without a
certificate, iLO cannot connect to the directory server.
Each directory server that you want iLO to connect to must be issued a
certificate. If you install an Enterprise Certificate Service, Active Directory can
automatically request and install certificates for all of the Active Directory
controllers on the network.
