Symantec PCANYWHERE - V12.1, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 218 / 321

Symantec pcAnywhere requires that you use Microsoft-compatible certificates.
You can obtain these from a commercial certificate authority (for example,
VeriSign or Entrust) or from an internal certificate server. Vista has the capability
to create its own certificate, called a self-generated certificate, under the certificate
section of IIS. You can create the certificate from IIS 7.0.
You can create a certificate file by exporting your certificate in Microsoft Internet
Explorer. Use any export format that does not include the private key (for example,
PKCS#7 with a .p7b file extension). Send the file to the computer to which you
want to connect using a secure method.
Alternatively, the other user can download your certificate from the certificate
authority. Follow the certificate authority's instructions for finding and
downloading another user's certificate.
To create a certificate file to send to another user
1
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2
In the Internet Options window, on the Content tab, click Certificates.
3
Select your certificate, and then click Export.
For more information, see the documentation for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Setting up a certificate store
A certificate store is a secure database that contains one or more certificates for
the users who are allowed to connect to your computer. These certificates ensure
that only a user with the private key that is associated with the certificate can
connect. The files should contain the digital certificate, but should not contain
the private key.
To locate the public key for a session, pcAnywhere searches the certificate store
for the certificate that belongs to the remote user.
Symantec pcAnywhere can use any of the following file formats as a certificate
store:
■
Microsoft-compatible certificate store
■
PKCS#7 cryptographic message
■
Raw certificate obtained from the certificate authority
