I have a Windows 2008 Certificate Authority setup on a Windows 2008 DC
I have a Windows 2008 Member Server (which will be the SCCM box)
I have created all the certificates (web, client, site) on the Site server using the technet article which describes the steps to do this.
I have been able to get the Web and Client certs on the member server.

I have not been able to get the Site certificate to work during setup due to the subject name requirements.

The web enrolment page doesn't let you specify a subject name.

In the CA msc on the member server I can request a cert that way and I can do a custom request which has a tab for subject name... however which option do I choose?

There's a ton of different identifiers for the subject name, I can't find documentation anywhere on what one to do.

So if anyone has any help for me I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Terry

According to the hands on lab documentation I have from TechEd, the name should be:

The site code of this site server is MCM.

Repalce MCM with your site code.

Yep I know that. Like I said I have been using the technet guide.

The problem is what type of name is this?

My guess is a CN?

I'll try that.

To clarify, what certificate version are you using? 03 or 08?

When you are in the web enrollment page and you select the template you have created for the Site Server Signing Certificate it doesn't give you the following:

Name:
Email:
Company:

etc...

If this isn't showing up for you, then when you duplicated the template you didn't select "Provide in Request" in the Subject Name tab.

Hi... here's an update.

I originally selected "Windows 2008" for the certificate because that's all I have. And I couldn't get it to show up.

I redid the certificate and did everythign the same except I chose "Windows 2003" and it then showed up in the web console.

I did select the "provide in request" both times that didn't matter.

Thanks,
Terry
