Hi,

I have a Standalone Root CA running on Windows 2003 SP2.
I want to enable SSL, TLS for RDP connections to domain controllers, for
that I am following the KB article :http://support.microsoft.com/?id=895433
I am able to request a "server authentication" certificate using web
enrollment, but I wanted to automate this process using certreq.exe and INF
file.
My version of INF is not working, as I am able to generate the certificate,
but it is not showing up as a available certificate for RDP SSL in TS
configuration properties.
Only difference I saw between certificate obtained from webenrollment &
certificate obtained from certreq.exe was keyusage extension being not
critical in certreq.exe certificate.
So, I am assuming that is the problem.
I am not able to set the key usage extension to critical, can anyone help me
with conversion of keyusage value to base64 version as required by INF

If it helps anyone, the Keyusage requires data in ASN.1 BIT STRING format.

My INF file


[Version]

Signature= "$Windows NT$"



[NewRequest]

KeySpec = 1

KeyLength = 2048

Exportable = TRUE

MachineKeySet = TRUE

SMIME = FALSE

PrivateKeyArchive = FALSE

UserProtected = FALSE

UseExistingKeySet = FALSE

ProviderName = "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider"

ProviderType = 12

KeyUsage = 0x30

Subject = "CN=server1.domain.com"

[EnhancedKeyUsageExtension]

OID = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 for "Server Authentication"

[Extensions]

2.5.29.15 = ??????

Critical = 2.5.29.15



Appreciate any help provided :)
