I am getting this error when trying to request a cert from my CA

The requested certificate template is not supported by this CA. 0x80094800

Denied by Policy Module 

the request was for a certificate template that is not supported by Active Directory Certificate services policy: xxxx

this is a duplicate template of an existing web server template

Most likely it is 'VMwareSSL'. Run 'certutil -CATemplates' command to list all available templates for each CA.

It all depends on:

1) Whether the org installed the certificate enrollment Web pages

2) Whether the org install the Web pages on the same server

There is no "usual" URL. The answer is depends.

For example, I almost *never* install it anymore. Much better ways to enroll certs out there

did you added new template to CA for issuance? I guess -- not. Open Certification Authority MMC snap-in, select Certificate Templates node. In the Action menu, select New and Certificate Template To Issue.

this is my request

certreq -submit -config "PA-PKI2\WSGR-PA-PKI2-CA" -attrib "CertificateTemplate:VMware SSL" rui.csr rui.crt

VMware SSL is the template I duplicated from web server template. web server template works

Hi

How did you generate your request  ?

You need to generate your request on the vmware host via openssl and after submit to the CA via the WebEnroll or via the certutil cmd

don't forget to supply the Template Name attribute

hope this will help.

As I said, you are using wrong template name. You must use template common name (which is 'VMwareSSL' without spaces), not display name.
