Certificates question

Hi everyone -

I'm having trouble getting a certificate installed for our UCM, using a
cert supplied by our domain CA server (not a public CA server)

This may be a more Microsoft-side issue, but I'm hoping that some of the
users on here have done this, and know how to get the certificate
request
to work right in the Microsoft side.

UCM 6.1.1-3002
Windows 2003 Standard domain controller acting as our CA server.

I've done the following steps

In OS Admin, Security, Certificate Management
1. done a certificate signing request for the tomcat
2. Downloaded the resulting file to a folder.

What I'm having trouble with is this:

When I go to the website for my CA server
http://<myserver>/certsrv/certrqxt.asp
and select "Request a Certificate", then "Advanced Certificate Request"
(because I'm not doing a simple User cert), then select
Submit a Certificate Request or Renewal Request
I get the page where you can browse and upload a certificate, select
from the dropdown to use the correct template.

>From this link, you can see that there's a template for "Web Server"
http://www.linuxmail.info/images/windows-xp/certsrv-certrqxt.png

My CA doesn't have that template - I don't know why.
I have Basic EFS, User, and IPSEC (offline)

This is essentially the same process:
http://www.linuxmail.info/submitting-certificate-request-to-microsoft-ce
rtificate-services/

I realise that is for Linux mailservers, but the concept is the same --

Many articles I've seen deal with XP/Vista/IIS client/application issues
where it's an all-Microsoft world.

But this certificate request is NOT coming from a Microsoft platform (as
we know Cisco isn't using Microsoft any more)

So a lot of the articles online don't directly deal with my issue of why
that template isn't available..


Any ideas?

Re: Certificates question [In reply to]

I think you might need a server enterprise edition server running as your CA to generate the right type of cert

Re: Certificates question [In reply to]

I just noticed in this article
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2086/products_configura
tion_example09186a00804721c3.shtml

that Cisco says to use Web Server if you have Enterprise.
I'm going to assume that User is what would work with Win2k3 Standard.

Oddly enough, the template exists within cert.msc.
But there, when importing a CertRequest file, you can't select template,
and the process errors out telling me that the Request has no embedded
template.

Re: Certificates question [In reply to]

If the web server certificate profile is not listed, then it was removed by your CA administrator. You will either need to do this via command line or request that the default web server certificate profile be reenabled.

Re: Certificates question [In reply to]

I'm the one that installed the CA services on that box, eg, I am the CA
administrator
I never disabled any of the certificate profiles. this is how CA
services were out of the box - I've seen this on other CA servers.

I had the impression as well that I could somehow enable that template
to appear on the website for the CA server,
but I can't figure out what to Google for on support.microsoft or some
other site like Petri's site.

Re: Certificates question [In reply to]

Open the Certificate Authority MMC, and look under 'certificate templates' and see if it is listed there.
