Certificate templates with standalone CA Dave 10-07-2005

Hi,

we have a standalone CA (Win 2003 Std) and issue certificates with it. When
I issue a certificate for signing code it is valid for one year (standard
settings) - I would like to be able to issue a certificate that lasts for 2
years. In the certificate templates I can copy the existing template and
make the necessary changes - how do I make this template available?

Thanks for your help,
Dave

Certificate Templates are only available from an enterprise CA. See the
certificate templates whitepaper available at:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/deploy/co
nfeat/ws03crtm.asp

You could also attempt to increase the validity period of certificates
issued by the standalone CA:

certutil -setreg CA\ValidityPeriodUnits 2
certutil -setreg CA\ValidityPeriod "Years"
net start certsvc & net stop certsvc
