The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can not install certificate in local VPN client

Asked by discmakers in IPSec Security Protocol, Cisco PIX Firewall, Networking Hardware Firewalls

Hello,
We have a Cisco ASA 5510 handling VPN with certificates from a Microsoft 2003 Standard Server with a Standalone CA server configured on it. A few weeks ago our cert on our ASA expired against the CA server and we reapplied for a new cert to the ASA. Users who still have a valid cert against our CA server can use these certs to authenticate to VPN and gain access. So that's good but the bad news is if your cert expired, you can not reapply for a certificate nor can a brand new system apply for a certificate. Like I said, we can run existing certs against the ASA and I know that creating a group auth account works (which has been the work around for the time being for the expired cert users).

If I try to do SCEP enrollment via http, I get an "Error 42: Unable to create certificate enrollment request." From Cisco's site, this is what the error means "Description or Action:
The VPN Client was unable to create an enrollment request to enroll the certificate with a certificate authority."

If I try it via creating a cert file enrollment on the client, enrolling manually through the CA and export out a file to import into the VPN client, I get "Error 39: Unable to import certificate." which this description is "Description or Action: The VPN Client was unable to import the certificate. The file path for the certificate may be incorrect or there may be a problem with the file system."

Below in the code snippets, I'll put the 2 separate logs from the client when I try to do it's respective action.

Any and all help is great appreciated.
Brett
