I am trying to submit a request for an SSL certificate on a Domain Controller in order to enable LDAP SSL, and having no end of problems.

I am following the information provided at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321051 & http://adldap.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=ldap_over_ssl

Steps taken so far:

  1. Create Servername.inf with the following information

    ;----------------- request.inf -----------------

    [Version]

    Signature="$Windows NT$

    [NewRequest]

    Subject = "CN=servername.domain.loc" ; replace with the FQDN of the DC KeySpec = 1 KeyLength = 1024 ; Can be 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, or 16384. ; Larger key sizes are more secure, but have ; a greater impact on performance. Exportable = TRUE MachineKeySet = TRUE SMIME = False PrivateKeyArchive = FALSE UserProtected = FALSE UseExistingKeySet = FALSE ProviderName = "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" ProviderType = 12 RequestType = PKCS10 KeyUsage = 0xa0

    [EnhancedKeyUsageExtension]

    OID=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 ; this is for Server Authentication

    ;-----------------------------------------------

  2. Create Certificate request by running: certreq -new Servername.inf Servername.req

  3. Attempt to submit Certificate request to CA by running: certreq -submit -attrib "CertificateTemplate: DomainController" request.req
  4. At which point I get the following error: The DNS name is unavailable and cannot be added to the Subject Alternate Name. 0x8009480f (-2146875377)

Trouble shooting steps I have taken so far 1. Modify the Domain Controller Template to supply Subject Name in Request restart Certificate Service, include SAN in Request, same error. 2. Re-installed Certificate Services / IIS / Restarted machine countless times

Any help resolving the issue would be greatly appreciated.
