Delivering certificate not in the same domain name ? Pascal 04-02-2008

Hello,

another question ;-)

If I am installing an enterprise Windows certificate authority, the
delivered certificates have to be delievered only for the same domain
name as my active directory domain name ?

For example, if my domain is "mycompany.local", does it mean that only
certificates for *.mycompany.local can be delivered or I can deliver a
certificate for "www.mywebsite.com" ?

If I can deliver a certificate for www.mywebsite.com and I install the
root certificate of my enterprise CA in the client computer, this
computer will not have any warning message, so ?

Thank you

Yes, you can issue certificates for other domain names other than
"mycompany.local".

Correct, if issuing self-signed certificates then a copy of the CA
certificate has to be installed on non-domain member workstations and
servers. (Member workstation/servers automatically get a copy installed at
the time of joining the active directory domain.) Once this is done, no
more prompts because a certificate can be verified back to the CA
certificate.

Thank you neo but how do you request a certificate for another domain
names than "mycompany.local" ? Through the configuration of Subject
Alternative Name ?

Thanks

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.
