Install a Certificate on the TS Gateway Server

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

After you obtain a certificate, use this procedure to install the certificate in the correct location on the TS Gateway server, if the certificate is not already installed. After you complete this procedure, you must Map the TS Gateway Certificate.

Note

This procedure is not required if you created a self-signed certificate by using the Add Roles Wizard during installation of the TS Gateway role service, or by using TS Gateway Manager after installation, as described in Create a Self-Signed Certificate for the TS Gateway Server. In either case, a certificate is automatically created, installed in the correct location on the TS Gateway server, and mapped to the TS Gateway server.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, on the TS Gateway server that you plan to configure, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
