Intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) Installation Instructions for Microsoft IIS

Question

I am following the Intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) Installation Instructions for Microsoft IIS from this link. I completed the step 1 and step 2 but in step 3 they said "From the left pane, click Intermediate Certification Authorities" I don't know what they trying to say. I was not able to find even left pane :(

Answer 1

Depending on your environment, two options are available to you:

1) if your machine is a member of workgroup, then simply run the following command:

certutil -addstore CA c:\temp\cacert.cer

2) if your machine is a member of Active Directory, you can distribute CA certificate to all AD forest members by publishing the certificate to Active Directory:

certutil -dspublish -f c:\temp\cacert.cer SubCA

in both commands replace fictional path (to CA cert file) to an actual one.
