The generated private key stays on the requesting server at all times, and then CA will immediately return an approved certificate file back to the requesting server, which in turn automatically imports it in to the correct store and attaches the private key to it.
If anything specific to the environment prevents this process e. The main window pane will now show a list of all Personal certificates installed on the local server.
As a best practice it is always recommended to fill out each of the identity fields so that the entire distinguished Subject Name field is formatted in a way that most applications expect to see it.
Do not leave any of the fields blank; it is also a good idea to refrain from special characters or other non-alphanumeric digits when at all possible. View the certificate details and validate that the private key was successfully assigned to the certificate.
Reviewing the certificate details shows the Subject Name, key bit length, and certificate template used. In the event that a different key bit length needs to be requested or a custom certificate template must be designated then these can be addressed by submitting an offline request which breaks up the previously shown process into three separate manual steps: request, submission, and completion.
To verify that the data was correctly written to the file open it up with Notepad and the text should look something like the image below. But for internal requests there are multiple ways to submit them to a Windows CA. Depending on the tools and permissions available some of these approaches may not work in certain environments.
If access is prevented for certificate submissions then send the request text file to the appropriate personnel and wait for them to send back the certificate file, then jump to the next section to complete the request. Assuming that both connectivity to the CA and the appropriate permissions are available then follow these basic steps to submit the request to the Windows CA using certreq.
The results of the command should indicate a successful request and the resulting certificate file will be written to a new text file in the same directory as indicated in the command newcert. As the Request ID is displayed in the output above, then the details of the issued certificate can be verified on the CA itself by opening the Certificate Authority administrative tool on the CA server and then browsing to the Issued Certificates container to look for the matching ID.
Before completing the request locate and open the newly generated certificate file newcert. Notice that the private key description is missing from the General tab information. Without a valid private key nothing can be decrypted which was encrypted using the public key. View the properties of the new certificate and this time the General information will indicate that the private key has successfully been linked to the new certificate.
About Jeff Schertz Site Administrator. Correct, as long as the certificate is requested with the proper fields and parameters. I normally shy away from using the IIS certsrv procedure as it is a little clunky and I find that using inetmgr for most requests is the least problematic.
