TLS Authentication – Download Digital Certificate from Server
In most corporations, it requires internal IT or MIS staff’s help to have the
certificated downloaded to your local computer. One of the main reasons is that
each corporation uses its own server systems, and you will need the assistance from
your IT or MIS for account/password, CA server location and etc. The following
illustration is based on obtaining a certificate from Windows 2000 Server which can
act as a CA server, assuming you have a valid account/password to access the
server.
13. Connect to the server and ask for access, and the server will prompt you to
enter your user name and password.
14. Enter your user name and password, then click “OK” to continue.
Please note that we use IP addresses for connection with the server for our
illustration, and the IP of the server is 192.168.1.10.
15. After successful login, open up your Internet Browser, and type the following in
the address field.
http://192.168.1.10/certsrv
This is how we connect to the Certificate Service installed in Windows 2000
server.
