  2. Install the CA certificate as a trusted publisher on the Forefront TMG computer certificates store.

  3. Establish an LDAP session with the storage server (as described in the following procedure).

To establish an LDAP session with the storage server

  1. Click Start, click Run, and type ldp.exe.

  2. From the Ldp menu, click Connection and then Connect.
