Install your SSL Certificate on Lync 2010

Install your SSL Certificate on Lync 2010

Introduction:

Microsoft Lync 2010 combines instant messaging, VoIP calling, live meetings, and videoconferencing, but it’s more than the sum of these parts. Although Lync integrates with almost any PBX, it puts the PC at the center of communications so effectively that it could send your current phone system packing. Lync provides clear VoIP calling and crisp videoconferencing without requiring special network accommodations. It integrates with Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Office, bringing user presence information to Outlook and SharePoint team sites and allowing instant messages and phone calls to be initiated with a click.

Installation steps:

  1. On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Microsoft Lync Server 2010 > Lync Server Deployment Wizard.
  2. In the Lync Server 2010 – Deployment Wizard, click Install or Update Lync Server System.
  3. Under Step 3: Request, Install, or Assign Certificates, click Run.
  4. In the Certificate Wizard, select External Edge certificate (public internet) and then click Import Certificate.
  5. On the Import Certificate page, enter or browse for the location of the certificate file. If you used the Lync interface to create the CSR, the certificate file is a .cer file (i.e. yourdomain_com.cer). If you used the DigiCert Certificate Utility to create the CSR, the certificate file is a .pfx file (i.e. yourdomain_com.pfx).
  6. If you are using a .pfx file, check the Certificate file that contains certificate’s private key. If you are using a .cer file, do not check this box.
  7. Click Next.
  8. On the Import Certificate Summary page, verify that the information is correct and then click Next.
  9. On the Executing Commands page, verify that the Task status is Completed and then click Finish.
  10. In the Certificate Wizard, select External Edge certificate (public internet) and then click Assign.
  11. On the Certificate Assignment page, click Next.
  12. On the Certificate Store page, click View Certificate Details to verify that you installed the correct certificate.
  13. In the Certificate window, review the certificate information, and then click OK
  14. On the Certificate Store page, click Next
  15. On the Executing Commands page, verify that the Task status is completed, and then click Finish.
  16. On the Certificate Store page, click Next.
  17. To verify that your certificate was properly installed, in the Certificate Wizard, make sure that the status of the External Edge certificate (public internet) is Assigned.
  18. Your SSL certificate has been successfully installed and assigned.

If you are unable to use these instructions for your server, we recommend that you contact either the vendor of your software or the organization that supports it.
