Enable Self Signing Certificates
- When acting as a self signing certifying authority, enable SSL on the Web server using the following process:
- Install Microsoft Certificate Services on a server in the domain.
- Generate the root CA certificate.
- Generate a certificate request file for each Web site.
- Use the certificate request files to create server certificates for the Web sites.
- Install the certificates and then enable SSL on each applicable Web site.
- Install the certificate in the browser's authorities store.
- The new certificate must be installed in the browser for it to trust the new root CA certificate.
- Initiate a secure connection using
https.
