certificate software you are using. These instructions assume that you are using
Microsoft Certificate Services.
Request a Certificate:
1 Connect to your Active Directory Certificate Service homepage. For example,
http:///certsrv/ using Internet Explorer.
2 Request a certificate of the type “Client Authentication Certificate”.

1 Open the Certification Authority application on the machine running the Certificate
Services.
2 Select Certification Authority > Test > Pending requests, where a pending request

Close the application.
Install the Certificate:
