Request.ClientCerficate

[Meels Lilbok]

Hi

I have a problem with Request.ClientCerficate
IIS 6. ASP solution,Win2003R2

Whe i call Request.ClientCerficate it does to nothing.
All settings , certifcates aso. are OK. because on another server same
solution works perfectly!
No errors, nothing., it just does not work.

Any ideas?
Best regards;

How and where are you requesting the client certificate? Is this
through program code (ie VB.NET), a properties sheet (from what
application), or because of a call to a website from inside of
internet explorer?

Client certificates identify client computers to server computers
under the Kerberos scheme. Does your server need to have kerberos
setup?

Its hard to tell what's wrong without really knowing what you are
trying to do...because there are so many things you can do with
certificates.

Hi Andy

Im requesting client certificate trough ASP(old asp) code.
ASP page runs under IIS 6.Server certificate is ok, and webpage is set to
accept client certificates.
Testing with Internet Explorer 6 and 7. Client certificate is read from
Estonian National ID Card.
testing with code;
<%
For Each strKey in Request.ClientCertificate
Response.Write strkey & " = " & Request.ClientCertificate(strkey) & "<BR>"
Next
%>

On another server all works fine, when i call this asp page, "select a
digital certificate" window pops up even when no id-card is inserted.
On this problematic server it does not work.

In your code, you aren't checking to see if any certificates were
received at all (by checking for a count before you go into the for
each loop). If the count is zero, you should display an error message
stating no certificates were received.

<%
For Each strKey in Request.ClientCertificate
Response.Write strkey & " = " & Request.ClientCertificate(strkey) &
"<BR>"
Next
%>

Because you don't crash, your results indicate that no certificates
have been sent by the client when it issued a request to your server.
Check your client browser security settings to ensure that the browser
isn't stopping this information from being sent.

Also, should the in clause of your for each be
Request.ClientCertificates, which is the actual collection of the
certificates sent?

Hi Andy

Yes, i'm not checking Count beacuse i wanted to get error message.
But there is no error, Count is always 0.

As i sayd, its not browser related problem, because on another server all
works fine when i call this asp page from IE.

This sounds like user misconfiguration of the server because as you
say, the same code works on another server, and it works from
different clients.

Verify you actually have identifical configuration between the working
and non-working server. If you automate and script the deployment of
your servers that would not be an issue, but if you hand-configure
servers, they will likely fall out of sync no matter what you do.
