This workshop is suitable for network engineers and administrators who want to learn more about certificates and Certification Authorities.
Prerequisites
Basic previous knowledge of the Windows system as well as sound knowledge of Windows Server. Basic prior knowledge in the area of networking and Active Directory is advantageous.
Course Objectives
In this workshop, each participant builds a multi-level Windows Server PKI in a Windows Active Directory environment. In the process, PKI-enabled applications are configured and tested. An overview of the most common encryption and authentication methods and frequently used encryption algorithms serves as an introduction. After a theoretical introduction, an independent root CA and a subordinate organizational CA are set up.
Depending on the release of the final product of Windows Server 2016, this workshop will be held on the basis of Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016 and serves to give participants an initial overview of the complex topic of PKI.
