[cid:[email protected]] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Friday, February 12, 2016 12:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] a stupid certificate question OK, I know this is obvious but I'm not seeing it and I'm not finding anything useful on Google which surprises me. If you are requesting a certificate through the certificates MMC snap-in, where do you select a key strength? We had a guy just request a new cert for an internal web server and he got a 1024-bit key, whereas the previous certificate had a 2048-bit key. Trying to figure out how that happened. Thanks.
