Task 8: Install a security certificate
The Content Server is shipped with a self-signed certificate, which is valid for ten years. Because
self-signed certificates are not from a trusted Certificate Authority, when users log in, most browsers will
display a message that the identity of the site could not be verified.
You can add the server to the Trusted sites list in Internet Explorer, or add an exception in Firefox to
avoid error messages at log in. However, we recommend purchasing a security certificate from a
certificate issuing authority that has a trusted relationship back to a root authority, such as VeriSign or
Comodo. These credentials are most likely to be trusted by browsers, which eliminates the need to add
the server to the list of Trusted sites. The certificate should be generated against the Windows machine
name or the DNS entry associated with the server IP address.
Follow these steps to install a purchased security certificate on the server default website:
Step 1
On your computer, go to
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Remote Desktop Connection
.

In the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box, enter the IP address that you configured in
