Install Certificate Authority Root Certificates on LCS
Install Certificate Authority Root Certificates on LCS
To support TLS encryption between Cisco Unified Presence and LCS, each LCS server must have a signed security certificate. This signed certificate, along with the root certificate of the Certificate Authority (CA) that signed the certificate, must be installed on each LCS server.
Cisco recommends that LCS and Cisco Unified Presence servers share the same CA. If not, the root certificate of the CA that signed the Cisco Unified Presence certificates must also be installed on each LCS server.
Generally, the root certificate of the LCS CA is already installed on each LCS server. Therefore, if LCS and Cisco Unified Presence share the same CA, there may be no need to install a root certificate. However, if a root certificate is required, see the following details.
If you are using Microsoft Certificate Authority, refer to the following procedures in the Integration Guide for Configuring Cisco Unified Presence for Interdomain Federation for information about installing the root certificate from the Microsoft Certificate Authority onto LCS:
•
Downloading the CA Certification Chain
•
Installing the CA Certification Chain
If you are using an alternative CA, the following procedure is a generic procedure for installing root certificates onto LCS servers. The procedure for downloading the root certificate from the CA differs depending on your chosen CA.
Before You Begin
Download the root certificate or certificate chain from your CA and save it to the hard disk of your LCS server.
Procedure
Step 1
On your LCS server, select Start > Run.
Step 2
Enter mmc and select OK.
Step 3
From the File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-in.
Step 4
In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, select Add.
Step 5
From the list of Available Standalone Snap-ins, select Certificates and select Add.
Step 6
Select Computer Account and select Next.
Step 7
In the Select Computer dialog box, check <Local Computer> (the computer this console is running on) and select Finish.
Step 8
Select Close, and then OK.
Step 9
In the left pane of the Certificates console, expand Certificates (Local Computer).
Step 10
Expand Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
Step 11
Right-click Certificates and select All Tasks.
Step 12
Select Import.
Step 13
In the Import Wizard, select Next.
Step 14
Select Browse and navigate to where you saved the root certificate or certificate chain.
Step 15
Select the file and select Open.
Step 16
Select Next.
Step 17
Leave the default value Place all certificates in the following store and ensure that Trusted Root Certification Authorities appears under the Certificate store.
Step 18
Select Next and Finish.
Step 19
Repeat Step 11 to Step 18 as necessary for other CAs.

Request Signed Certificate from Certificate Authority
This section describes the following procedures:
•
Install Signed Certificate on LCS Server
•
Select Installed Certificate for TLS Negotiation
Note
The procedures in this section are necessary only if no signed certificate exists on an LCS server or the existing certificate does not support Client Authentication.
To support TLS encryption between Cisco Unified Presence and LCS, each LCS server must have a signed security certificate that supports Client Authentication. If that is not the case on any LCS server, the following procedures outline how to request a newly signed certificate from the Certificate Authority and install it onto that specific LCS server.
The Subject Common Name (CN) used in Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) from LCS differs depending on LCS deployment:
•
For Standard Edition servers, use the FQDN of the Standard Edition server as the Subject CN.
•
For Enterprise Edition front-end servers, use the FQDN of the pool to which the front-end server belongs as the Subject CN.
Standalone Microsoft Certificate Authority
If you are using a Standalone Microsoft Certificate Authority, see the following procedures in the Integration Guide for Configuring Cisco Unified Presence for Interdomain Federation to request a signed certificate from the CA for the LCS server:
•
Requesting a Certificate from the CA Server
•
Downloading the Certificate from the CA Server
Note
You can find the Integration Guide for Configuring Cisco Unified Presence for Interdomain Federation here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6837/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html
