8.3. Microsoft standard certificate management implemented

As of V11 SP12, when using SSL encryption, you have the Microsoft Standard SSL-Library available. So that the standard Microsoft certificate management is supported, meaning the regular management interface is displayed.[44]

The option Source of certificate is new. Up to now only the selection of a manually created certificate was possible.

  • Windows certificate store: After selection of Windows certificate store, in the list field under Hostname, administratively deposited certificates can be selected.

  • File: After selection of File, under Certificate, you can manually set the desired certificate (the "old" method).

Via click on the link "certlm.msc", open the Microsoft certificate management. Here, you can request new certificates, for example, which then will also be listed under Hostname.

Example:

    -> The local management page is opened on the client.

  2. Under "Personal", select the menu item "Certificates".

  3. On the right, open the context menu and there, under "All Tasks" click on the command "Request New Certifcate...".

    -> The "Certificate Enrollment" Wizard is opened.

  4. Then on the page "Active Directory Enrollment Policy" select a certificate and pay attention that under "Details" -> "Application Policies" the entry "Server Authentication" is available.
