Server 2008 TS Gateway Certificate?

[Jay]

I am trying to install the TSG Role for Server 2008 Beta 3.

According to the step-by-step this requires a certificate and we do have an
Enterprise CA running on Server 2003.

I am having a hard time generating the required certifcate and could use
some help......

The step-by-step says that the Certificate Wizard won't work. I tried and
they're right -) The only other way (I know of) to get this certificate is
with CERTREQ but I can't find an Request Template that will work.

Help!
TIA

Hi,

For testing I exported one of my public certs from a 2003
server and then imported it to my Server 2008 machines. You
could use one of your 2003 servers to request a cert using the
wizard in IIS and do the same thing.

There are SSL providers that will issue free public certificates
that are good for 90 days (some are for 30 days or less). I
prefer using public certificates because they make testing from
an outside machine easier and they are so cheap to purchase
now ($12/year and up).
