Applies to server certificates. Authenticate and secure communications from SDN Manager to possibly multiple subscribers for example, network controllers, network management systems, ITPro tools, and so forth.

Applies to client certificates. Each server certificate must contain the fully qualified domain name of the receiving system. The certificate must be installed in the local computer store. When client authentication is required by a subscriber system, the client certificate on the SDN Manager might need to contain the fully qualified domain name of the computer that is hosting SDN Manager, depending on how the subscriber third-party system authenticates a client.

The certificates must be signed by a certification authority that is trusted by all involved parties. If the certification authority is not trusted, the root certificate of the certification authority must be installed on all involved computers. You should follow the standard WCF certificate validation mechanism to configure the settings to validate the client certificates.

Make sure when using a pool of SDN Managers, the certificate contains the entire pool fully qualified domain name for example, "sdnpool. This name should have at least one period delimiter ".

To activate and assign the server certificate to the port used to receive SSL traffic on the SDN Manager, you will need to run the following command:.

When provisioning subscribers, you can specify the thumbprint of the client certificate in the configuration settings for the specified subscriber. This procedure is necessary only if a subscriber requires client authentication.

In this case, the subscriber must be configured to validate and accept the client certificate. When generating the client certificate, you must set the parameters and fields according to the certificate validation policy of the subscriber system. To install the client certificate, follow the steps listed in the Requesting and Installing a certificate procedure earlier in this article.

Check a pending certificate request. If you have submitted a certificate request to a stand-alone certification authority, you need to check the status of the pending request to see if the certification authority has issued the certificate. If the certificate has been issued, it will be available for you to install it. Retrieve the certification authority's certificate to place in your trusted root store or install the entire certificate chain in your certificate store.

Submitting requests with files is useful when the certificate requester is unable to submit a request online to the certification authority. Comply to the message "No further identifying information is required.

You receive a prompt every time you use the private key that is associated with the certificate. If you see the Certificate Pending page, the CA administrator will have to approve the request before you can retrieve and install the certificate.

If you see the Certificate Issued page, click Install this certificate. If there are no pending certificate requests, you will see a message to that effect.

If the CA has been renewed, you have the choice of which version of the CA certificate you want to download. When the Certificate dialog box appears, click Install this certificate. The Get-Certificate cmdlet can be used to submit a certificate request and install the resulting certificate, install a certificate from a pending certificate request, and enroll for ldap.

If the request is issued, then the returned certificate is installed in the store determined by the CertStoreLocation parameter and return the certificate in the EnrollmentResult structure with status Issued. This cmdlet can be used in a Stateless mode where this cmdlet does not look up anything in the vault or in a Stateful mode where it looks at registered certificate enrollment policy servers by identifier ID and credential. When used with a request object and no credential, this cmdlet will look up credentials in the vault based on the URL for the enrollment policy server.

This cmdlet will not accept a policy server identifier ID. If a URL is not specified, then only the default certificate enrollment policy ID is used and the cmdlet will attempt to obtain policy information from any of its URLs. This example submits a certificate request for the SslWebServer template to the specific URL using the user name and password credentials. The request will have two DNS names in it.

This is for a certificate in the machine store. If the request is issued, then the returned certificate is installed in the machine MY store and the certificate in the EnrollmentResult structure is returned with the status Issued. This example submits a certificate request to a specific URL using the certificate credential for authentication. This example authenticates the URL using the machine account and Windows integrated authentication and submits a request for a machine certificate of template named WorkstationTemplate.

This example retrieves and submits a pending request using a user name and password as credentials. If there is a credential, then use it. Specifies the path to the certificate store for the received certificate.
