Configuring the KMS server
You can configure the Key Management Service (KMS) server to communicate with Access Appliance. The KMS server activates computers on a local network, thus eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft.
The KMS server requires an SSL key-pair (SSL certificate and the KMS server's public key) for communicating with Access Appliance.
To provide the client's SSL key and certificate
- Settings > Services management > Key management service (KMS): Click Provide key and certificates.
- Select Generate self-signed client key and certificate, and click Next.
- Browse to the location of the downloaded SSL public key, and click Next.
- View the Recent Activity panel for the status of the task.
