Configuring the CA

The CA used by FIM CM needs to be configured before we can use it.

First, we need to install the FIM CM CA files, and then we need to configure the modules we just installed.

Installing FIM CM CA files

You install the CA files by running the same setup as when installing the FIM CM server.

The only trick is to remember to deselect the FIM CM Portal and FIM CM Update Service options in the feature selection during setup. We only want to install FIM CM CA Files.

Configuring Policy Module

Once we have installed the modules, we need to configure them with some information regarding the FIM CM.

In the properties of Exit Module, we need to tell the CA how to connect to the FIM CM database by supplying it with a connection string.

A typical connection string might look as follows:

connect Timeout=15;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=FIMCertificateManagement;Data Source=dbFIMCM

In this example, I am using a SQL alias on the CA server as well.
