How to obtain L2TP/IPSec certificate

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,

I have a computer (PC1) which is connected to a Server 2003 standard computer.
Now I want to make a VPN connection between a client (somewhere on the
internet) and PC1 not to the Server2003.
If I use PPTP everything is working fine. But for more security I want to
use L2TP/IPSec.

If I want to make a connection with a client computer to the PC1 I am
getting a message that I need a certificate.


I think I need an IPsec certificate for the client computer to establish a
connection to PC1.

Is it possible that the Server2003 can generate such certificate?
According to the TechNet website only the Enterprice version of Server2003
can generate such certificate.

Any Ideas how to create a L2TP/IPSec certificate for a VPN connection for
WinXP Pro?

Thanks in advance.
