The identity certificate and its private key, root and intermediate certificate(s) are now stored in the Local Machine Personal certificate store. These can now be exported in an appropriate format for IP Office.
On the same server the certificate request was created on, open the MMC Certificates snap-in for the Local Computer account.
Expand Certificates (Local Computer).
Right-click the identity certificate (the one with the key icon), then click Select All Tasks > Export, click Next.
Select Yes, export the private key, click Next.
Select: Personal Information Exchange - PKCS #12 (.PFX), Export all Extended Properties, and Include all Certificates in the certification path if possible .
When prompted, a strong password should be used to secure the file. This password will be requested when later importing into IP Office.
Click Next.
Enter a filename (for example, yourdomain) and then click Next, then Finish. The ID certificate file yourdomain.pfx should be renamed yourdomain.p12.
The PKCS#12 file yourdomain.p12 now has the identity certificate, private key and all intermediate certificates.
yourdomain.p12 can now be imported into the IP Office deployment using IP Office or IP Office Web Manager. See the relevant documentation and Implementing IP Office PKI for more information.
The yourdomain.p12, root and intermediate certificate files should be retained and used for recovery purposes.
