I appologize in advance if this question has already been answered elsewhere. I am looking into deploying ASG's in my organization and have the following question regarding email encryption, specifically with regards to CAs.
I understand from the documentation how the ASG serves as its own CA and can therefore issue user certificates. I also understand that the ASG's certificate has to then be installed on the receiving end as a Certificate authority in order to facilitate encryption/decryption.
My question is this. How do you get the ASG's certificate signed by a root CA so that you do not have to exchange the ASG's certificate with a business partner. So here's an example of how it would play out.
Verisign root CA (installed by default in most email clients and such)
ASG CA certificate signed by Verisign root CA (I realize I would have to pay)
example user certificate signed by ASG CA
Business partner recieves email with example user's certificate which is signed by the ASG which is in turn signed by the root CA (Verisign). Eliminating the need to have the business partner install the ASG's certificate as an authority.
Is this even possible or am I thinking about this the wrong way. Any help will be appreciated
