Switching to the Production Environment

  • Článek

[The AD RMS SDK leveraging functionality exposed by the client in Msdrm.dll is available for use in Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, and Windows 8. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use Active Directory Rights Management Services SDK 2.1, which leverages functionality exposed by the client in Msipc.dll.]

When you have completed developing and testing you application, perform the following steps to switch from the Pre-production to the Production certificate hierarchy.

  1. Remove the Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) role.
  2. Create a public key pair.
  3. Submit the public key to Microsoft and sign the license agreement. Microsoft creates and signs a Production certificate.
  4. Install the signed Production certificate forwarded by Microsoft.
  5. Reconfigure the AD RMS server registry as needed.
  6. Reconfigure affected client computer registries as needed.
  7. Remove all AD RMS certificates and licenses from the client computer(s).
  8. Reinstall the AD RMS role.
  9. Create a new manifest (.mcf) file for your application, specifying the paths of the new public and private keys.
  10. Run Genmanifest.exe and specify the signed production certificate and the new .mcf file on the command line.

See the following topics for more information about the preceding steps.
