Overview
Microsoft’s CLM
CLM provides an identity assurance management system to maximize the trust and flexibility
associated with digital certificates and smart cards by providing enhanced management
facilities for Windows Server 2003. CLM simplifies the administrative processes required to
convey trust, and ensures distribution of certificates and cards in a secure and structured
manner. The result is a highly configurable and robust registration and management solution
that provides simple deployment, improved manageability, and increased flexibility:
Ease of Deployment
Microsoft CLM is the only Microsoft Windows®-based certificate management solution that
provides turnkey deployment and is designed to require no development work to implement in
an organization. CLM simplifies digital certificate and smart card deployment in the enterprise
environment by using services such as Microsoft Active Directory® directory service and
Windows Server 2003 Certificate Services extensively, providing enterprise customers with
an integrated security solution.
CLM is also able to easily grow with an organization and can scale without requiring software
modifications. As a typical Web application, CLM consists of several layers: database,
business components, and presentation (Web). These layers can be placed on physically
separate servers in various combinations, maximizing deployment flexibility and scalability. In
addition, Network Load Balancing, Windows Clustering, and Application Center technologies
can be used to further facilitate scaling.
Manageability
CLM provides Web-based, policy-driven workflow management that helps organizations
manage administrative and end-user experiences. In addition, the technology lowers the
overall cost of Windows-based digital certificate and smart card infrastructures by providing
tools that automate common administrative functions and enable users to self-administer
common tasks.
By simplifying the administrative processes required to convey trust, CLM ensures distribution
in a secure and structured manner. CLM’s enhanced management facilities for Windows
Server 2003 help administer multiple certificates, multiple certificate authorities (CAs), and
certificates for computers and devices. To reduce administrative overhead, CLM provides a
self-service Web portal for subscribers and managers and temporary cards to solve the
problem of employees forgetting cards at home or other locations.
CLM provides a flexible and transparent way to update card content information, including
adding a new certificate template, renewing certificates, and performing applet management
functions. CLM also includes features to personalize and manage Java applets required to
operate Java cards, allowing organizations to personalize smart cards as part of the
enrollment process and simplify the overall deployment process.
Flexibility
Microsoft CLM offers broad flexibility by providing IT administrators with the ability to modify
certificate and smart card management process and adapt CLM to their organizational policy
requirements and unique infrastructures. CLM solution that provides simplified management
and end-user experiences through advanced policy and workflow.
6
CLM is designed based on the principle that every enterprise is unique, and therefore has
unique security and management requirements. Certificate registration varies greatly with
each organization, and CLM was designed to address this challenge by providing a certificate
registration and management framework that can be used in many different ways when
required.
The remainder of this paper will explore CLM’s role in a Smart Card and Digital Certificate
infrastructure from a technical perspective, including:
•
The architecture that makes the above benefits possible
•
The fundamental applications that CLM interacts with
•
How authentication roles and permissions can be centrally managed
•
CLM’s role in the smart card and certificate lifecycle

IAS card with CLM
Introduction
This is an example that shows how to use a Gemalto IAS ECC Smart Card with Microsoft
CLM.
Caution:
Consequently, this document should not be considered as an instruction manual
on how to configure your system.
Use case overview
The Use Case shows a basic configuration of CLM: the end user will be able to enroll himself
his IAS Smartcard on the enrollment station. The main interest of this use case is to see how
CLM can handle the IAS ECC Smart card and how it is configured.
By default CLM doesn’t handle IAS Card. We will see how to get round this limitation
Notes: Only these “Provider Name” are managed by CLM: Microsoft Smart Card Base CSP,
Axalto, GemPlus GemSafe, SafeSign Identity Client, Aladdin eToken and Siemens HiPath.
Architecture & requirements
Figure 1- Architecture for the Use Case
8
To have a full infrastructure working you need:
• A Microsoft domain controller based on W2K3
• A Certificate Authority on W2K3
• A Microsoft ILM FP1 server on W2K3
Please note that both the CA and the CLM server are installed on the same machine in our
example.
•
The client is a computer running Microsoft Windows XP sp2
o The Microsoft CLM client available on the server is installed
o The smart card reader driver is installed
o Middleware for IAS card is installed (Classic Client V6)
o IAS ECC Smartcards (IAM Profile)
•
User accounts:
o An ILM manager account (clmadmin)
o An ILM user account (marc)
• Please note that the user has to have Administration rights
on the Client in order to install ILM client, MS Patch and the
smart card reader driver.
Main Step of the configuration
Firstly, all software mentioned above must be installed correctly and running. The installation
step is not documented here. We will show only the configuration.
In order to prepare the use case, the main steps of the configuration are:
• Enrollment machine configuration:
o CLM client, middleware, smartcard reader installation.
o Registry modification in order to link the CLM’s Profile Template with
the IAS ECC card.
•
CLM Configuration:
o Publish a new certificate template.
o Create a ILM profile template with the certificate template just
created.
o Modify Enrollment and Retirement Policies.
•
Enrollment phase: User marc enrolls his IAS Smartcard.
•
Do a smartcard logon to check the smartcard is working fine.
•
Retire phase: CLM administrator retires the smartcard.

Configuration on the
Enrollment machine
Caution: Administration rights are required.
CLM Client
The CLM client has to be installed on the Enrollment machine.
Smartcard reader
The Smart Card reader driver must also be installed. Please refer to the Smart card reader
manufacturer in order to install the correct driver. Here we use the Gemalto PC-Twin reader.
You can find the drivers on the website www.gemalto.com.
Middleware installation
You have to install Classic Client V6. Log on as an administrator on the machine in order to
have sufficient privileges to install it. Once installed you can verify your IAS card is correctly
managed by the middleware just installed.
1. Launch the toolbox: Start->All Programs->Gemalto->Classic Client-> Classic
Client Toolbox
2. Insert your IAS smartcard into the reader
3. Click on Card Properties and Next.

4. See the characteristic of your card:
Modification in registry
Modify the registry by using the file described below:
-------------Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CLM\v1.0\SmartCardClient\Providers\AsciGemPlus1
]
"CSPs"=hex(7):47,00,65,00,6d,00,61,00,6c,00,74,00,6f,00,20,00,43,00,6c,00,61,\

Caution:
This modification links the provider name “Gemplus Gemsafe” in CLM to the IAS
middleware. So, if you create a profile template on CLM with “Gemplus
Gemsafe” as provider name, the expected smartcard won’t be a Gemsafe card
but will be an IAS ECC card. Consequently, The name “Gemplus gemsafe”
cannot be use for gemsafe or classic client card. We cannot add a new provider
name for IAS at this moment.
Before using client authentication with certificate, we have to generate and store a certificate
within the smartcard from the Enrollment machine.
