Web Server Certificate
Platí pro: Windows SBS 2003
Several of the Web services require Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to secure communications between a Web browser and your Web server. For the wizard to configure SSL, you must either have the wizard create a Web server certificate or you must provide a certificate file from a trusted authority.
A certificate is needed to establish identity and create trusts for the secure exchange of information. The certificate must be signed by a certification authority (CA). The wizard can create a certificate signed by your server, or you can obtain your own certificate signed by a commercial CA, such as VeriSign.
