The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Internet Information Server version 3.0
SYMPTOMS
When you try to process a Certificate Request file through the
sample Certificate Server web site (Krenroll.asp), you may get the
following error message:
HTTP/1.1 403 Access Forbidden
Execute Access Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow objects to be executed.
CAUSE
The script mapping for the .Cer extension is not marked as
Execute (including script).
RESOLUTION
Use one of the following workarounds:
I. Reapply the script mapping for the .Cer extension.
Within the Microsoft Management Console
- Select the plus sign beside IIS under the Console Root.
- Select the plus sign beside the appropriate Web Server.
- Right-click the appropriate web site, and click Properties on
the shortcut menu.
- In the web site properties, select the Home Directory tab.
- Click Configure under the Application Settings tab.
- Under the Application Mappings section, select the .Cer
extension. Click Edit.
- In the Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog box, make
sure the Script Engine check box is selected.
II. Mark the Virtual Directory as "Execute."
Within the Microsoft Management Console
- Select the plus sign beside IIS under the Console Root.
- Select the plus sign beside the appropriate Web Server.
- Right-click the appropriate Virtual Directory or Web Site,
and select Properties on the shortcut menu.
- In the Properties Sheet, click the Virtual Directory tab.
- Under the Permissions section, ensure that the Execute
(including script) button is selected.
- Close the appropriate dialog boxes and exit the Microsoft
Management Console.
MORE INFORMATION
During setup, the .Cer extension is not configured properly.
When you change the Permissions to Execute, it forces the
appropriate behavior. However, editing the .Cer extension is the
most appropriate solution.
