Install Microsoft Certificate Authority Roles

Install the Certificate Authority and Certificate Authority Web Enrollment roles on the Microsoft Certificate Authority server to facilitate certificate generation from SDDC Manager.
When connecting SDDC Manager to Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services, ensure that Web Enrollment role is installed on the same machine where the Certificate Authority role is installed. SDDC Manager can't request and sign certificates automatically if the two roles (Certificate Authority and Web Enrollment roles) are installed on different machines.
