  • 1.  How to generate certificate for SEPM using enterpreise AD

    Posted Sep 20, 2012 08:14 AM

    Hi all,

    I'd like to use an enterpreise AD certificare rather than the self singed certificate, so that when I access admin console I don't get ssl error and I don't have to add the self signed certificate to exeptions. How can I do this? what kind of certificate I have to request? Is SEPM abele to generate a certificate request?

    In a nut shell, you can't.

    The certificate for accessing the SEPM Console cannot be changed I'm afraid.  The only place you can implement your own certificate is for the client-to-server comms.
