Topic Last Modified: 2009-07-11
To create the A/V authentication certificate request for Edge Servers
On the Edge Server, in the Deployment Wizard, on the Deploy Edge Server page, next to Step 4: Configure Certificates for the Edge Server, click Run.
In the Communications Certificate Wizard, on the Welcome page, click Next.
On the Available Certificate Tasks page, click Create a new certificate, and then click Next.
On the Select the Component for Which Certificate Is Requested page, select A/V Authentication Certificate.
On the Delayed or Immediate Request page, select the Prepare the request now, but send it later check box, and then click Next.
On the Name and Security Settings page, type a friendly name for the certificate, specify the bit length (typically, the default of 1024), select the Mark the certificate as exportable check box, and then click Next.
On the Organization Information page, type the name for the organization and the organizational unit (such as a division or department, if appropriate), and then click Next.
On the Your Server's Subject Name page, in Subject name, type or select the subject name of the A/V Edge service on the Edge Server.
Note
The subject name should match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the A/V Edge Service published by the external firewall. For Litware Inc., this value is av.litwareinc.com
Click Next.
On the Geographical Information page, type the location information, and then click Next.
On the Certificate Request File Name page, type the full path and file name to which the request is to be saved (or, click Browse to locate and select the certificate), and then click Next.
On the Request Summary page, review the certificate information, and then click Next.
On the Certificate Wizard completed page, verify successful completion, and then click Finish.
After the Enterprise CA creates the request, submit this file to your CA (that is, by e-mail or other method supported by your organization for your Enterprise CA) and, when you receive the response file, copy the new certificate to a location that is accessible by the Edge Server on which you requested the certificate.
