The CSR Method
In the CSR method, the security certificate is created as part of the SIP Server configuration
in the IP Network Service configuration.
Using the CSR Method, the following processes are performed:
• Creating the certificate request (in the Default IP Network Service - SIP Server dialog box).
• Sending the certificate request to a Certificate Authority.
• Receiving the certificate from the Certificate Authority.
• Installing the certificate in the MCU (in the Default IP Network Service - SIP Server dialog
box).
The PFX Method
In the PFX method, the security certificate is created in advance, in the Office
Communications Server or Lync Server environment.
For detailed description of this procedure in the Office Communications Server

Exporting the Certificate to the MCU Workstation” on page H-22.
For detailed description of this procedure in the Lync Server environment, see the Polycom
Unified Communications Deployment Guide for Microsoft Environments..
