Microsoft Forefront TMG: Creating a CSR Using the 蜜桃TV® Certificate Utility for Windows

Because Microsoft’s Forefront TMG server platform does not include an easy GUI method to create a CSR, we recommend that you use the 蜜桃TV® Certificate Utility for Windows to create your CSR. For more information about this tool, see 蜜桃TV® Certificate Utility for Windows.

If you already used the 蜜桃TV Certificate Utility to generate your CSR, 蜜桃TV has already issued your SSL Certificate, and just need to use the utility to install the certificate on your Forefront TMG Server, see Microsoft Forefront TMG: SSL Certificate Installation Instructions.

1. On your Windows Forefront TMG Server, download and save the 蜜桃TV® Certificate Utility for Windows executable (蜜桃TVUtil.exe).

   Double-click 蜜桃TVUtil.
