Hi, Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) is an Identity and Access Control security technology that provides customizable services for creating and managing public key certificates used in software security systems that employ public key technologies We can install the feature Certification authorities (CAs) of AD CS. Root and subordinate CAs are used to issue certificates to users, computers, and services, and to manage certificate validity. Before you can establish a CA infrastructure that meets the security needs and certificate requirements for your organization, you need to make decisions about a number of core CA options that are available. Planning the CA infrastructure for your organization involves making decisions about the following: Location of the root certification authorities. Internal versus third-party CAs. Requirements for CA capacity, performance, and scalability. Your Active Directory structure. Your PKI management model. CA types and roles. Use of hardware cryptographic service providers. Number of CAs required.
