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.

SSL server certificate cannot authenticate the client certificate in IIS 6.0

Asked by re-aktiv in MS Forefront-ISA, Microsoft IIS Web Server, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) & HTTPS

Tags: , , , ,

Hi
I have placed my web application on a web server that runs IIS 6.0 on windows server 2003 Standard Edition. I have assigned an SSL certificate to the site and set it to require secure channel (SSL) and to require client certificates for authentication. The SSL server certificate is correctly installed with every other certificate in the the certificate path correctly placen in its apropriate certificate store trusted root and intermediate. The client certificate is installed and working properly as well. When i remove the option require client certificate and put the ignore or accept client certificate i can acces the web page through HTTPS, but whe the option require client certificate is selected i recieve the message "The page requires a valid SSL client certificate" with the error "HTTP Error 403.13 - Forbidden: Client certificate has been revoked on the Web server.". The client certificate is valid and has not been revoked and the server certificate is valid as well.
In my next step i downloaded the client certificate "Certificate Revocation List (CRL)" and placed it in the personal certificate store on the local computer where the server certificate is placed and at that point i was allowed access to the web page with the option require client certificate selected on the IIS. The problem is that the list i downloaded is static and the list on the CA server is updated every 3 hours so this won't do me much good.
The web server is behind ISA Server 2004 with rule set to Enable All Outbound Traffic for the server where the web application is hosted. When i copry the URL in IExplorer i am allowed to download the CRL.
Can you please help me in finding a solution to this problem
