To test how to obtain a machine certificate from an Active Directory integrated Enterprise Root Certificate Server, we’ll install Certificate Server on our domain controller, ISACLIENTDC. Installing Certificate Server on the Domain Controller The order of installation should be (from first to last):
Install Windows 2000 Advanced Server into the VM using the default settings except for the manual configuration of the IP settings. Use default settings during the Windows 2000 Advanced Server setup in the VM, except for the manual configuration of IP addressing and joining the domain. : 10.0.0.1Įthernet adapter Local Area Connection 2 (external adapter): : INTERNALVPNĮthernet adapter Local Area Connection (internal adapter): No additional network services on installation Make sure you create both forward and reverse lookup zones (reverse lookup zone for network ID 10.0.0./24). Create the DNS zone, before running DCPROMO. Use the default settings except add the WINS and DNS server services and configure the IP settings manually. Install Windows 2000 Advanced Server into the VM. –Configured manually, not via Active Directory Wizard Service and IP configuration settings on each machine: Obtaining a Certificate from the Stand-alone Root using the Web Interfaceīy the end of this two part lab, you’ll be the ISA/VPN L2TP/IPSec gateway to gateway Wizard!.Using the MMC Console to Request a Certificate.Confirming Installation of the Machine Certificate.Configuring autoenrollment using Group Policy.
Installing Certificate Server on a Domain Controller.In the second part of the article we’ll install ISA Server, configure the gateway to gateway VPN, and install the certificates on the remote VPN server and remote file server.
In the first part of the article, we’ll get the infrastructure put together install the servers, configure the certificate servers, and install certificates on the Local network. In this lab we’ll put together a five computer VMware network that includes two VPN servers, a domain controller, a stand-alone root CA and a server on the remote network. Its getting the non-domain members a certificate that can give you a headache. As you’ll see, assigning certificates to domain members is a snap. The real trick in making the certificate services infrastructure work is the ability to assign certificates to non-domain member computers. What we want to do right now is to get a L2TP/IPSec link configured and working. Forget about this! We’ll handle EAP/TLS at another time. He focuses on using the Web interface to get a user certificate for PPP EAP/TLS authentication. The reason for this is that’s its virtually impossible to get the straight dope on how to install the certificates! Even the highly acclaimed VPN book by Fortenberry fails to make it clear how to install machine certificates using the Web interface for machines that are not domain members. Indeed, the certificate infrastructure configuration is a major barrier to entry for those considering L2TP/IPSec VPNs. But if you’re in the market for a high security L2TP/IPSec gateway to gateway VPN, you probably have either been trying to avoid it like the plague or you are pulling your hair out trying to figure out how to make it work! Well, it’s a no-brainer when you’re configuring PPTP VPN gateways. The reason why it’s so easy is that the Local and Remote VPN Wizards make the setup a virtual no-brainer.
