Entity Certification on Windows Server 2003: Installing a CA

Hello, today we will learn to How to Install a Certificate Authority or Certification Authority on Windows Server 2003.
An entity certificate is one that manages to be SSL certificates used for encrypting the information either through a VPN using IPSec, SSL OWA, RPC over HTTPS (using SSL), etc.

Steps:
  1. Login to Control Panel, go to Add / Remove Programs and then Add / Remove Components. Select Certificate Services and mark the two checks and display a warning message stating that the server can not be renamed because it will be a CA.
  2. Then install the IIS as a component.
  3. During Installation it will be necessary to enable the use of Active Server Pages (ASP) for IIS to work correctly in the certificate management.
  4. During installation
  5. must specify the type certification body. In this case, select Enterprise root CA.
  6. then enter a name for the CA, in this case as the use of certificates will be for internal use have designated as the name DC. Distinguished name field will be set automatically, and finally establish a validity period for the certification, the default is 5 years.
  7. then display a window where you specify the path to the database and the logs of the certification.
  8. After installing the CA, can be accessed through Administrative Tools or by we, using: http://nombredeservidorCA/certsrv .





The implementation of a certifying body will allow us to exploit the capabilities of products such as Exchange Server 2003. Later we will see topics such as configuring the OWA to use a form with SSL and RPC over HTTPS.
