CYB 300 Module Three Lab Worksheet Install and Configure AD Certificate Services Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed phrases in the Response column with the relevant information. Exercise 1—Install and Configure Active Directory Certificate Services Prompt Response In the lab section “ Task 1: Install and Configure Enterprise Root Certificate Service,” Step 20, the certificate name is PRACTICELABS-PLABDC01-CA. Change the first part of the CA name, PRACTICELABS, to your last name. Take a screenshot of the CA snap-in in Step 28 . When deploying a CA server, are there any special considerations to keep in mind to make certain the installation is successful? Examples include what type of CA server to install or the network environment. When deploying a CA server, there are several special considerations to keep in mind such as ensuring domain name service is installed and paired with the active directory domain, as well as making sure the correct roles are added. It is also important to assign a proper name because the name cannot be changed later. This makes the process simpler and avoids needing to recreate the CA server because of a naming issue. 1
Exercise 2—Configure Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) Prompt Response In the lab section “ Task 1: Request User Certificates,” Step 11, take a screenshot of the user certificate issued to Jan Regus. In the lab section “ Task 2: Verify Issued Certificate,” you will verify the certificate issued to Jan Regus. In Step 3, take a screenshot of the revoked certificate for Jan Regus. Why is it important to analyze the various characteristics of a certificate? Why is it important to understand the basic network functionality of a certificate? Certificates ensure the authenticity of the information being received. The various characteristics need to be analyzed very seriously to ensure they have not been faked or sent using an unsafe source. Certificates are the foundation to implementing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) security so knowing the basic network functionality is essential to ensuring the proper security methods are being followed. 2
Exercise 3—Configure Active Directory Certificate Services Backup and Recovery Prompt Response In the lab section, “Task 1: Manual Backup Using AD Certificate Snap-in,” Step 7, take a screenshot of the contents in the BackupCA1 folder. In the lab section, “ Task 2: Backing Up Using Certutil,” Step 3, take a screenshot of the keys, the database, and the configuration of CA server. Why should backing up certificates and certificate services be considered when deploying a CA server? What is the purpose of the recovering certificate services? Please explain your response. Backing up certificates and certificate services gives a way to restore the data associated with a certificate authority. The purpose of recovering certificate services is to ensure database integrity. If certificates are lost or cannot be verified, data can be manipulated and resent or could be encrypted without any way for decryption or authentication for accurate viewing. 3
