In an effort to tighten security on the internet by creating more stringent standards, the CA/Browser Forum recently formulated new guidelines in their Baseline Requirements for issuing SSL certificates.
Another useful tool from DigiCert, to scan your network and find all the certificates deployed.
I came across a company who provides free SSL certs (not SAN/UCC). This will be ideal for a home lab.
I had an issue in my lab today, while I was importing a third party certificate to Exchange 2010. Even after importing the certificate successfully, the console (and shell) had the same status – “This is a pending certificate signing request (CSR)”.
