Enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Communication over LDAP for Windows 200

[hagai yaffe]

Hello.

I have a windows 2000 active directory server. I would
like this server to support ssl, the next link describes
how to do this by installing an Enterprise Certificate
Authority on a Windows 2000 server on my domain. I have
done this and it works.

My question is if there is wa way for me to do this with
out installing a CA on my domain ? I have a certificate
for the AD Server to use, this certificate was issued by a
CA that is not located on my domain, this CA might also
even not even be on a windows computer. is there way to
make the AD server use this certificate ?

TX.

You can use a third party certificate. There are a couple criteria that
would need to be met. Use the following KB link as a reference:
