You can request any kind of certificate from the CA that you have the correct permissions to request. The ones you are allowed to request are shown in the template drop down in the web interface. If the one you need isn't shown there, you'll have to adjust the permissions on that template on CA server.
Some certificates can be user or computer based, like the default web server cert. If the template can be used as a computer cert, you'll see further down on the page you'll see a check box for "Store certificate in the local computer certificate store". I don't know what this will do on a Mac - you may need to download the cert, save it to the local drive, and then run whatever import wizard they have on the Mac. ...Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 7:35 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: CA 2003 Enteprise > > This has me baffled. > > I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise server running as a CA.
