FIX: Request.ClientCertificate Returns Server Certificate

• Active Server Pages
• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Under certain circumstances, the Request object's ClientCertificate collection may contain information from the certificate installed on the server, rather than information from the client's certificate.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by having an old version of the Schannel.dll file on your system.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, you must install the correct version of Schannel.dll. The correct version of this DLL is provided by installing Windows NT Service Pack 2 on the web server.

NOTE: If you are using 128-bit (Domestic) encryption keys on your server, you will need to order the Domestic version of Windows NT Service Pack 2. Please contact Microsoft Sales at 800-360-7561 for more information on ordering this service pack. You can also order it online at http://parts.microsoft.com.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

This problem was corrected in Windows 2000.
