Please log in for more thread options Since I run Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition, what I did was create a copy of
the existing Web Server certificate template and configured it so that the
information would be supplied in the request. Once I allowed the new
template to be used, I used the web interface (http://server/certsrv) to
request the certificate.
If you wish to support Subject Alternate Names (SAN) under Windows 2003
Certificate Services, you need to turn the option on. Note, this isn't a
setting on the certificate template. You actually have to use certutil to
turn the feature on and the stop/start certificate services. The commands
are...
certutil -setreg policy\EditFlags +EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2
net stop certsvc
net start certsvc
Once you do this, you can request certificates that include the SAN
attribute.
