You have two (2) options on how you can generate and configure the SSL Certificate. You can either create a self-signed certificate or buy a public issued Certificate Authority (CA) to be used in TMMS. 

Using a Private SSL requires companies to push the HTTPS certificate manually to the iOS device via iPhone Configuration Utility. This is because the company root CeA is unknown to the iOS device. If you have several iOS devices, you have to physically connect the devices to deploy the SSL certificate.

  1. Install a standalone CA on the Policy Server. Refer to the following links:
  2. Generate a CSR for the SSL certificate.
  3. Sign and export the SSL certificate.
    1. Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Certification Authority.
    2. Right-click the server name, and then click All TasksSubmit New Request.

Using a Public Issued CA is automatically deployed to iOS devices being enrolled. Unlike a Private SSL, the root CA is already pre-installed on iOS devices (i.e. GoDaddy, PublicSSL, Verisign, etc.).

To get and install a public SSL Certificate, do the following:

  1. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
  2. Purchase a public SSL certificate from an SSL certificate provider using the CSR file you created in Step 1, and save it as a .cer file. Refer to the certificate provider's website on how to submit the CSR. The certificate provider should provide instructions on how to apply the signed certificate on a specific operating system.
  3. Export the HTTPS/SSL cerficate to a PFX file.
    1. Open the IIS Manager.
    2. Right-click the Officescan virtual website and select Properties.
