Step 1: Configuring a Certificate Authentication (CA) service

Configure a CA service. This white paper uses Microsoft Certificate Services to configure certificates. Detailed instructions for installing a CA service is beyond the scope of this white paper. For more informa- tion about installing Certificate Services, see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/smallbusi- ness/prodtech/windowsserver2003/build_ent_root_ca.mspx and http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/ docs/support/SupportManual/c00363517/c00363517.pdf.

After you install the CA service, perform the following configuration steps:

1.Create an MMC with the following snap-ins:

Active Directory Users and Computers

Certification Authority

Certificate Templates

2.Click Certificate Templates and look for the Smartcard Logon certificate in the right pane.

3.Create a duplicate template by right-clicking on the Smartcard Logon certificate template, and then selecting Duplicate Template.
