Add a Trusted Root Authority to your SharePoint Farm
The next step in protecting the ClaimsWS service is adding a trusted root authority to your SharePoint farm.
Your SharePoint farm requires a new trusted root authority to identify and authenticate the information that it receives from the claims service. Create a trusted root authority on your SharePoint 2010 central administration server.
Follow these steps:
- Copy the certificates for the ClaimsWS service from the system hosting your Agent for SharePoint, to a directory on your SharePoint central administration server. Include the signed certificate that you downloaded from your certificate authority (certnew.cer file) and all the certificates in the certificate chain (certnew.p7b).
- Open the SharePoint 2010 central administration site.
- Click Security.
- Under General Security, click Manage trust.
- Click New.
The Create Trusted Relationship dialog appears.
- Enter a name for the trust relationship.
- Click the Browse button next to the Root Authority Certificate, and then locate the certificate that you copied over in Step 1.
- Click OK.
- Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for each Certificate Authority certificate in your certificate chain. For example, if your certificate chain includes three certificates, repeat this step three times.
The trusted root authority is created.
- Continue by configuring the mutual trust relationship between the CA SiteMinder claims provider and the ClaimsWS.
