If you are using a third-party certificate authority other than Microsoft Certificate Services, refer to this procedure. This procedure is provided as a guide only and should be used in conjunction with the instructions on your CA Web site.
Procedure
From your browser, go to your CA’s Web page for requesting a server certificate.
Complete the required fields for enrollment.
Usually you provide information such as your name, email address, the IP address of your server, your organizational unit (OU), and the type of server you have.
Paste the CSR into the appropriate field and submit or upload the request.
The certificate authority processes your request and issues a server certificate for you to download.
Download the certificate to your AE Services administrative workstation, and save it with a unique name (for example C:\aescert.cer).
Important:
The certificate data you import into AE Services must be PEM-encoded (Base 64). If your CA issues certificates in DER format, you must convert it to PEM format before importing it into AE Services. See Converting a DER file to PEM for more information.
