Client Certificate Selection

1 New Member
Hey everybody,

I've got what I hope to be a simple question. I'm currently working on a project that uses IIS to request a Client Cert (X509) from a CAC/Smart Card. However, we want to get away from IIS mandating this requirement and have ASP.NET (C#) request this cert from the client. Is there anyway in .NET to force the Client Cert request dialog as IIS would do it? Or even automatically select a client cert from the supplied certs? (The CAC/Smartcards house 2 or more certs.)

TIA

Randy

I am working on a special ASP.Net application that receives files from customers. The connection is made via HTTPS and the client sends the file as a POST to my ASP.Net listener. All of this works fine. Now I am looking at how to validate the clients certificate programmatically. The client application sends to me with something like: .... Dim myHttp As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(https://myserver/Receive.aspx),...

I have set up a C# web application that runs on my test Web Server (Windows 2003 Server, Web Edition). It in turn calls a web service running on the internal network. Now I want to issue a client certificate to each client connecting to the web app, and use it to authenticate and identify the clients on the web server (and use the SSL for secure encrypted exchanges). There is no issue requiring SSL between the web server and the back...

I would appreciate if some one answers these queries. Thanks in advance. If My web server is SSL enabled, then why should I havea client certificate authentication? what extra security it provides? Can I use client certificate without having SSL connection? How do I get the Client Certificate? Is it necessary to be issued from the same webservice server i want to use? Or I can get it from any CA e.g verisign? Is it possible to get free...

Hi all, HttpWebRequest, and SoapHttpClientProtocol both expose a ClientCertificates property, which can hold multiple client certificates, but on the service side, it can only receive one client certificate, since it derives System.Web.Services.WebService class, and it's Context.Request.ClientCertificate is a single HttpClientCertificate object, is there a way to receive all the client certificates that is sent in the request? or does IIS...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
