I require a Web Server (template) certificate for my Cisco 2106 WLAN controller however the controller cannot directly request a certificate from the authority server and I cannot create a Web Server certificate "marked with exportable".
I run a patched Windows Server 2003 Enterprise and have clients successfully 802.1x authenticating using WLAN controller (authenticator) and IAS/CA (authentication server).
Is there a way to make Web Server certs exportable? If not is there a way around my problem. I'm trying to upload a cert onto the Cisco WLAN controller to terminate dot1x requests local on the box using "LOCAL EAP".
Thanks in advance

Wikid advice.. thanks mate
I cant make a version 3 template as I am not running Windows Server 2008 CA (at this moment), is there a work around?
I obtained more information about version1-3 certificates here http://technet.microsoft.c
My next concern lies in the controller, will it handle the new version certificates? I'm thinking Yes, but it is Cisco after all and I would like to test it.
Sorry, typo on the version 3... version 2 templates for 2003, which will create a version 3 certificate. This has been around for awhile now - pretty much everything should support it, if for some reason it doesn't check for an update. Your AD environment should be at least 2003 native mode by now, I hope, in order to properly support the 2003 CA - if not, you might want to look into that if possible.
The old version 1 win2k template does not allow for the private key to be exported, so you would want to duplicate that in order to make the change.

Yes, web server certs can be exportable. Duplicate it and make a new version 3 template and you can change a number of options. On the Request Handling tab, you can checkmark 'Allow private key to be exported'.
When exporting, you will need to make sure to 1) include the private key and 2) mark as exportable whenever you import/export the cert if it asks you to.
It would be easiest to request from your workstation and export it that way and then open it up in notepad and copy the text over to the cisco device.
Another solution you might want to look into is SCEP which can be an extra extension to 2003 CA or part of 2008 CA normally. For 2003:

SCEP is designed to handle devices like routers and such that do not have the ability to recognize templates and all that, and enable them to make a simple cert request.
