A. If you wish to use certification for IP Sec then each machine hasto have a client or server authentication certificate installed. These can beobtained from a number of Certificate Authorities (including Microsoft fortesting and that is what we will do here) and installed as follows:
Start Internet Explorer
Select 'Request a certificate' and click Next
In the request type screen select Advanced request and click Next
Under the advanced screen select 'Submit a certificate request to this CA using a form' and click Next
Enter the details as follows
- Name
