Introduction to Certificate Services
Certificate Services are used to issue signed digital certificates to network hosts.
The certificates are used to establish SSL connections with the host and verify
the authenticity of the host.
Installing Certificate Services allows Active Directory to receive a certificate that
allows Lights-Out processors to connect to the directory service. Without a
certificate, iLO cannot connect to the directory server.
Each directory server that you want iLO to connect to must be issued a
certificate. If you install an Enterprise Certificate Service, Active Directory can
automatically request and install certificates for all of the Active Directory
controllers on the network.
Installing Certificate Services
1. Select Start>Settings>Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. Click Add/Remove Windows Components to start the Windows
Components wizard.
4. Select the Certificate Services check box. Click Next.
5. Click OK at the warning that the server cannot be renamed. The Enterprise
root CA option is selected because there is no CA registered in the active
directory.
