posted June 16, 2004 4:10 PM My certificate expired so I purchased a new. The old one works fine so all I want to do is use a new certificate. I am using VB as a client to post to a web server. I lookup the certificate and it seems to find it but I keep getting the following message: 11103: The client could not be authenticated. The web server people say they are not getting anything in their logs when I go to post this new cert. Like I said, posting with the old cert works perfectly fine. How can I debug this? Here is an excerpt from my trace log: -Finding Certificate! sCertStore [MY] locationCurrentUser [1]sCertIssuedBy [www.verisign.com/CPS Incorp.by Ref. LIABILITY LTD.(c)97 VeriSign] sCertSerialNumber [20362d58cb2e3f19e2a45e4b165e1373] 6/16/2004 3:54:41 PM Ver : 1.91 (05/06/2003) 11103: The client could not be authenticated.

posted June 16, 2004 4:20 PM There's something wrong with the new certificate. Check with whoever issued it to you to make sure you did it right. |

posted June 16, 2004 4:26 PM Verisign issued it to me. Are you saying they issued me a "bad" certificate. That doesn't sound very likely. Is there no way to debug this further? |

posted June 16, 2004 4:31 PM No, I'm saying you may not have installed in correctly. Do you get an Authenticate event? Does it give any info on why it failed? |

posted June 16, 2004 4:42 PM No Authenticate event. All I have is the Trace Log then I created Webasp1.Post Private Sub Webasp1_Certificate() ' If Server requires Client Authentication, this Event will fire Dim store As New CertificateStore sTemp = "Finding Certificate!" & vbCrLf & "sCertStore [" & sCertStore & "] locationCurrentUser [" & locationCurrentUser & "]" sTemp = sTemp & "sCertIssuedBy [" & sCertIssuedBy & "] sCertSerialNumber [" & sCertSerialNumber & "]" Call UpdateActivitySub(sTemp, 0) ' Set Certificate Property for Secure Communications ' Generally the store will be MY Store and Local Machine Webasp1.Certificate = store.Find(sCertStore, locationCurrentUser, sCertIssuedBy, sCertSerialNumber) End Sub Then error Webasp1_Authenticate never gets called |

posted June 16, 2004 4:57 PM But the same code works fine using a different cert? |

posted June 16, 2004 4:59 PM yes, worked fine for two years. Where does this client error come from? |

posted June 16, 2004 5:13 PM If the only thing that changed is the cert, then the cert is bad. There's not much I can tell you to do about that other than telling you to request another cert. |

posted June 16, 2004 5:18 PM What are your requirements for the certificate? What format does it have to be in? What would cause it to fail like this? I got the certificate from Verisign as text. |
