Log on to domain controller
This topic follows the guidelines of article Q321051. Log on to the domain controller (LDAP Server) with an enterprise administrator account.
To create the certificate request, the certreq.exe program is used. The certreq.exe program is part of the Windows installation and requires a text input file to generate a certificate request.
With your favorite ASCII editor (notepad.exe?), create a file with the following contents:
[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
[NewRequest]
Subject = "CN=king.tools4ever.local3"
; replace with the FQDN of the DC
KeySpec = 1
KeyLength = 2048
; Can be 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, or 16384.
; Larger key sizes are more secure, but have
; a greater impact on performance.
Exportable = TRUE
MachineKeySet = TRUE
SMIME = False
PrivateKeyArchive = FALSE
UserProtected = FALSE
UseExistingKeySet = FALSE
ProviderName = "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider"
ProviderType = 12
RequestType = PKCS10
KeyUsage = 0xa0
[EnhancedKeyUsageExtension]
OID=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1
In the file, the entry regarding the subject,
Subject = "CN=king.tools4ever.local3"
must be changed to contain the fully qualified domain name of the Active Directory domain controller that is going to support secure LDAP. Example:
Subject = "CN=OtherServer.mydomain.com"
Save the file to ldapcert.inf. From a command prompt, create the request file with certreq.exe:
certreq -new ldapcert.inf ldapcert.req
A new file is now created: ldapcert.req. This is the base64 encoded request file and it contains something like this:
