    Hi-
    I'm trying to obtain a WLAN Server certificate from Verisign for
    PEAP-MS-CHAP V2.
    My internal MS Active Directory Domain (company.ad)is not registered
    on the internet therefore I am unable to prove to verisign that I am
    who I say I am.
    According to Verisign: "The company.ad domain is a valid domain name
    and therefore must be registered. Unfortunately, we cannot approve
    the certificate without confirmation that the Domain belongs to the
    organization enrolling for the certificate"

    I do realize now that the .ad root zone is for the country of Andorra.

    According to Microsoft's documentation, the WLAN Server Certificate
    must contain the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the computer
    account of the IAS server computer in the Subject Alternative Name
    property.

    Does anyone know if that FQDN has to correspond to my Active Directory
    Domain (ias.company.ad) or if it can just be a legitimate DNS name
    (ias.company.com) for which I can obtain a certificate.. and which I
    also control internally?

    Thanks in advance
