I have successfully set up PPTP VPN. I now want to set up the more secure L2TP over IPSec. Its my understanding that i need a "computer certificate" on both the VPN server and client. I had no problem installing certificate services and configuring a Certificate Authority on my domain controller at home. So my VPN server has a personal (local computer) certificate from my CA at home. I followed the Win2k online documentation in this process.
My problem is now how to get a computer certificate on my machine at work. I know the domain my computer is a member of does not have a CA. There is a domain in my domain forest that may have a CA. I do have the ability to join the domain, but i do not then have the privelages to add the certificate management add-in for the local computer in the MMC, so that i can request a computer certificate.
My question is do i have any options here? Is there a way to get a certificate from my CA at home. If there is a way, will that enable me to move forward with IPSec?
Thanks for the help,
Matt
