Users with UserCertificate Attribute Not Viewable in WebAdmin

• Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

WebAdmin does not display members that have userCertificate attributes set. However, the same users are viewable through the Windows Address Book.

CAUSE

FastADS does not support the "BINARY" type for a variant [ASCII 160]. As a result, it returns an Invalid Type error when it encounters an entry with a userCertificate. WebAdmin does not handle this error, so no users are displayed.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, apply the latest Site Server 3.0 service pack.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Site Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information about obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
