On a couple of occasions when requesting certificates I have been presented with a popup window saying: "In order to complete certificate enrollment, the Web site for the CA must be configured to use HTTPS authentication."
The first thing I should stress is that you are prompted with this message for a reason and you should create a certificate and enable SSL as soon as possible. If for some reason this is not possible or in the interests of speed there are a couple of things you can do to workaround the need for enabling SSL and a certificate. Again, I stress this should be a short term option.
Take the following steps:
- Launch Internet Explorer.
- Select Tools > Internet Options >Security > Trusted Sites.
- Click the Sites button.
- Clear the option Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone) and add the current CA web enrollment site into the list.
- Click Close

- Launch Internet Explorer.
- Select Tools > Internet Options >Security
- Select the Zone: Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted
- Select the Custom Level button.
- In the resulting window, scroll down to Initialize and script ActiveX not marked as safe for scripting
- Select Enable.
