OCS Access Edge and Web Conferencing Public certificate
Posted by Chad McGreanor on November 28, 2008
So I just finished purchasing a Go Daddy ssl certificate to install on my Acces Edge and Web Conferencing public interfaces. Here are the important parts of that process.
Went on to the Access Edge server and went through the certificate wizard chose create a new request and chose access edge and web conferencing public interfaces. I entered my company information and for the for the subject I enetered sip.domain.com and for SAN to be safe I put in the same thing sip.domain.com
- Generated the text file and to GoDaddy we go.
- Bought the 29.99 Standard SSL 1 year certificate.
- pasted the text file that was generated from OCS into the GoDaddy wizard.
- Verified information was correct.
- email was sent to the Administrative contact from the WHOIS registrar lookup
- Admin approved the request
- I clicked on the link after the certificate was sent to me to download the certificate.
- It was a ZIP file so I extracted the file to a folder and re-named the sip.domain.com file from .crt to .CER this was done so that the OCS certificate wizard would recognize it.
- Once I completed the wizard I needed to go to each interface, the Access Edge public and web conferencing public and assign the certificate.
- I also right clicked on the other file GoDaddy provided and imported that in to the Enterprise Trusted Root Certification Authority. Restarted all Edge services tested and everything worked.
One thing to remember although it was not necessary is to right click on the imported certificate and ensure the certificate is enabled for all purposes. You can do that by right-clicking and checking the settings.
Next step Federation.
Update ensure you do the following…
1. Download the root CA chain of the public CA and install it on the local computer store of each edge server.
This came with the zip file from GoDaddy
