Configuring SSL on FIM CM Server

Applies To: Forefront Identity Manager 2010

Microsoft® Forefront® Identity Manager Certificate Management (FIM CM) is a policy and workflow-driven solution that helps organizations manage the lifecycle of digital certificates and smart cards. FIM CM lowers the costs that are associated with digital certificates and smart cards by enabling organizations to more efficiently deploy, manage, and maintain a certificate-based infrastructure. FIM CM streamlines provisioning, deprovisioning, configuration, and auditing of digital certificates and smart cards, and increases security through strong, multifactor authentication technology.

This document provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring a FIM CM profile template and management policies so you can then active SSL connection capability to your FIM CM server.

This document assumes that you have a basic understanding of the following information technology (IT) concepts and tasks:

• How certificates work in Windows Server®.

• Basic knowledge of Active Directory® and Windows Server knowledge

• For more information about Windows Server certificates, see Infrastructure Planning and Design (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=89435). For more information about Windows Server and Active Directory, see Active Directory Collection (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=45505).

This guide is intended for IT planners, systems architects, technology decision makers, consultants, infrastructure planners, and IT personnel who plan and develop certificate management on the network.

The procedures in this document require 60 to 90 minutes to complete.

The procedures in this document will help you create and configure a FIM CM profile template and use the CLM portal to request a Web Server certificate.

To perform the procedures in this document, it is assumed that your test environment has been set up and configured.

Your environment should consist of the following:

• Windows Server, named FIMCMServer

• FIM CM, installed on FIM CM Server

• A minimum of one certification authority (CA) installed, named FIMCM, which can be either an enterprise root CA or an enterprise subordinate CA

• Microsoft SQL Server

• Internet Information Services (IIS), with the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service activated

• Microsoft .NET Framework

In addition, this document assumes that all computers are members of the Fabrikam.com forest.
