Importing Certificates Using MMC

  • Article

This topic describes how to import a digital certificate that Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet (BTARN) uses to authenticate a trading partner, decrypt an incoming message, or encrypt or sign an outgoing message.

This procedure uses the Certificates snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This manual process imports a certificate into the certificate store, requiring you to configure certificate use separately. You can also import a certificate by using the CertWizard utility that automatically configures certificate use for you.

To import private certificates, you must use the user accounts under which the BizTalk Hosts run.

To import a public-key certificate

  1. Copy the public-key (.cer) certificate file to a location on the hard disk of the server to which you are copying certificates.

  2. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet, and then click BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet Management Console.

  3. In the BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet Management Console, expand Certificates (Local Computer). The logged-in user must have administrative permissions to the computer.

  4. Right-click Other People, point to All Tasks, and then click Import.

  5. On the Certificate Import Wizard Welcome page, click Next.

  6. On the File to Import page, click Browse and locate the folder that contains the certificate files. Select the file from which you want to import the certificate, and then click Open.

  7. On the Certificate store page, select either Automatically select the certificate based on the type of certificate or Place all certificates in the following store. If you select Place all certificates in the following store, click Browse, select the certificate store, click OK, and then click Next.

  8. Click Finish.

To import a private-key certificate

  1. Copy private-key (.pfx) certificate files to a location on the hard disk of the server to which you are copying certificates.

  2. Click Start, click Run, type run as /user:<host service> mmc, and then click OK.

    Note

    For <host service>, type the name of the service that was automatically selected for the host service when you installed BTARN.

  3. Type the password for <host service>, and then press Enter.

  4. In Microsoft Management Console, on the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.

  5. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, click Add.

  6. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, select Certificates, click Add, click Close, and then click OK.

  7. In Microsoft Management Console, expand Certificates - Current User, right-click Personal, point to All Tasks, and then click Import.

  8. On the Certificate Import Wizard Welcome page, click Next.

  9. On the File to Import page, click Browse and locate the folder that contains the .pfx certificate file that contains the certificate that you want to import. Select the appropriate file, and then click Open.

  10. On the Password page, in the Password box, type the password for the private-key file.

  11. Select Enable strong private key protection or Mark this key as exportable, and then click Next.

  12. On the Certificate store page, select either Automatically select the certificate based on the type of certificate or Place all certificates in the following store. If you select Place all certificates in the following store, click Browse, select the store, click OK, and then click Next.
