The first step to configure Microsoft Active Directory for SSL access is to set up a
stand-alone Certificate Authority (CA).

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Do not worry about addition resource utilization because both of the required
services (IIS \& CA) can be disabled after issuing the certificate(s).

## Prozedur

1. Install Internet Information Server (IIS).
2. Install Certificate Authority Services in stand-alone mode.
3. Verify the Certificate Services web application is installed and active.

## Nächste Maßnahme

Using the IIS Manager console, expand the local computer and select Web Sites. The state of Default Web Site should be Running. You should also see a CertSrv application listed under the Default Web Site. If the site is not running or the application is missing, you must resolve the issue before you proceed.
