1. Checking for an Installed Certificate

TTo check for an installed certificate

1.From the VOD-W Server, start the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

2.Expand the server name and select the Default Web Site.

3.Right-click the default web site and click Properties.

4.Select the Directory Security tab.

5.Click on the Server Certificate... button to launch the Server Certificate Wizard.

6.Click Next on the Welcome dialog box.

7.Select Assign an existing certificate and click Next.

8.If the Select a certificate list is not empty, there is a certificate on the VOD-W you can use (you can use this one or you can get a new a certificate as explained below.) Select a certificate, and click Next three times and Finish to install.

9.Then click Edit... under Secure communications.

10.Check Require secure channel (SSL). For more secure encryption, also check Require

128-bit encryption. Click OK.

2. Getting a New Certificate

TTo get a new certificate

1.Click < Back to choose a different method of obtaining a certificate.

2.Select Create a New Certificate and then select Next. (If Create a New Certificate is

If you want to create new certificate for the VOD-W, select Remove the current certificate to remove the certificate first, and then restart the procedure.)

3.Select Prepare the request now, but send it later and then select Next.

4.Type a descriptive name for the certificate in the Name field, type a bit length for the key in the Bit length field, and then select Next.

5.Type an organization name (e.g. VBrick) in the Organization field and type an organizational unit (such as Sales Department) in the Organizational unit field, and select Next. (This information will be placed in the certificate request, so make sure it is accurate. The Certificate Authority will verify this information and will place it in the certificate.)
