Configuring the Windows Server 2003 CA server
1.
Install the certificate service component:
a. Select Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs from the start menu.
b. Select Add/Remove Windows Components > Certificate Services.
c. Click Next to begin the installation.
d. Set the CA name. In this example, set the CA name to myca.
2.
Install the SCEP add-on:
By default, Windows Server 2003 does not support SCEP. You must install the SCEP add-on
on the server for a PKI entity to register and obtain a certificate from the server. After the SCEP
add-on installation is complete, you will see a URL. Specify this URL as the certificate request
URL on the device.
3.
Modify the certificate service attributes:
a. Select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Certificate Authority from the start menu.
If the certificate service component and SCEP add-on have been installed successfully,
there should be two certificates issued by the CA to the RA.
b. Right-click the CA server in the navigation tree and select Properties > Policy Module.
c. Click Properties, and then select Follow the settings in the certificate template, if
applicable. Otherwise, automatically issue the certificate.
4.
Modify the Internet information services attributes:
a. Select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS)
Manager from the start menu.
b. Select Web Sites from the navigation tree.
c. Right-click Default Web Site and select Properties > Home Directory.
d. Specify the path for certificate service in the Local path box.
e. Specify a unique TCP port number for the default website to avoid conflict with existing
services. In this example, port 8080 is used.
Configuring the device
