IPP printing available for testing

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I’ve made IPP printing available to users on the dgp network. Instructions can be found on the dgpwiki:

www.dgp.toronto.edu/dgpwiki/PrintersandFax

under “Printing Via HTTP” . I’ve tried this out on windows, linux and mac clients. It appears that the postscript errors linux used to receive
on some pdfs files don’t occur with the new system.

This week I’ll be trying to roll out an IPP printing system, as well as continuing on the tasks from the previous week.  Microsoft security patches are also being rolled out.

  • Black network switchover tests
  • IPP print server
  • WSUS server updates

Signing a certificate request on a Windows 2003 Enterprise CA

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

I was doing some testing of ssl on iis web servers and I needed to generate an certificate using a certifcate authority I had set up on a windows server. I got an error when I tried to use the gui, the cause of which microsoft explains here

Here’s the error:

Certificate Request Processor

The request contains no certificate template information. 0x80094801 (-2146875391)
Denied by Policy Module 0x80094801, the request does not contain a certificate template extension or the Certificate Template request attribute.

The solution is to use the command line tool certreq and specify the template to use (in this case, WebServer). Here is the command:

certreq -submit -attrib “CertificateTemplate: WebServer” certreq.txt
