Request a Certificate Over the Web

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

By default, every Windows Server 2003 certification authority (CA) has Web pages available for users and administrators. These can be used to perform a variety of tasks related to requesting certificates. These Web pages are located at https://servername/certsrv, where servername is the name of the server that hosts the CA. The certsrv portion of the URL should always be in lowercase letters; otherwise, users may have trouble checking and retrieving pending certificates.

Important

Windows Server 2003 CA Web pages must be updated before users can access these Web pages by using this version of Windows.
