You can verify that the AD RMS-enabled clients can connect to the AD RMS cluster by browsing to the certification pipeline by using Internet Explorer.

To open the certification pipeline

  1. Log on to an AD RMS-enabled client.

  2. Click Start, and then click Internet.

  3. In the address bar, type the following, and then press ENTER:

    http(s)://<adrms_cluster_url>/_wmcs/certification/certification.asmx

  4. The certification pipeline should open successfully without error or certification prompts. If you encounter a credential prompt, add the AD RMS cluster URL to the Local Intranet security zone and try again.
