  2. Click Add Template to create a new certificate template.
  3. Choose Use an onboard certificate authority, and select the onboard CA you created in the previous section.
  4. Select Server Certificates.
  5. Enter a validity period for the server certificate, and click Next to use the default settings.
    Tip: To configure pattern attributes, certificate strength, and EKUs, check the Configure Advanced Options box before you click Next.
