A stand-alone root CA is the anchor of trust for the basic lab setup. It will be used to issue certificates to the subordinate issuing CA. Because it is critical to the security of the public key infrastructure (PKI), this CA is online in many PKIs only when needed to issue certificates to subordinate CAs.
To set up a stand-alone root CA

  1. Log on to TEST_CA_ROOT1 as an administrator.
  2. Start the Add Roles Wizard. On the Select Server Roles page, select the Active Directory Certificate Services check box, and then click Next two times.
  3. On the Select Role Services page, select the Certification Authority check box, and then click Next.
  4. On the Specify Setup Type page, click Standalone, and then click Next.
  5. On the Specify CA Type page, click Root CA, and then click Next.
  6. On the Set Up Private Key and Configure Cryptography for CA pages, you can configure optional settings, including cryptographic service providers. However, for basic testing purposes, accept the default values by clicking Next twice.
  7. In the Common name for this CA box, type the common name of the CA,==CBP-NPE-CA1==, and then click Next.
  8. On the Set the Certificate Validity Period page, accept the default validity duration for the root CA, and then click Next.
  9. On the Configure Certificate Database page, accept the default values or specify other storage locations for the certificate database and the certificate database log, and then click Next.
  10. After verifying the information on the Confirm Installation Options page, click Install.
