SCOM with 3rd party certificates

[Peter]

We are establishing SCOM as a managed service for some of our clients.
Is anyone using 3rd party certificates for SCOM to SCOM/Gateway
communications, (eg. verisign, entrust) rather than MS CA?
If so, what certificates are you using to meet the authentication
requirements?
Does this cert appear suitable?

I can tell you we support the use of third party certs like VeriSign. We
recommend the use of Microsoft Certificate Services. Setting a valid cert
with third parties is complicated. There is about 20 fields (OID, name,
etc)that need to filled out correctly for this to work. It may be easier to
send one of these third parties and example and ask them if they can
generate this.

Hi-

Is there any documentation on how to make Entrust certs work with SCOM? There is very little out there on this and I have to imagine other people have to use 3rd party certs. Does it make a difference which type of Entrust cert you use?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael
