[cisco-voip] Certificates question

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

Subject: [cisco-voip] 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<http://%3cmyserver%3e/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-certificate-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?
