repost managed group: SSL and certification path installation from asp.net

A

Arno Broeders

Hi,

My asp.net web site is running SSL on a certificate from
our ms certification services server.

1> Can I detect from within asp.net or client script if
our CA certificate chain is installed on the client
requesting the asp.net page? How to do?

2> Can I provide a link on my asp.net page to install our
CA certificate chain to the client without redirecting to
http://cert-server/certsrv? How to do?

Should this be done with the active-x component x-
enrolllib? I can't get Xenrolllib working in asp.net coz
it doesn't have strong name.

The goal for this is to make the asp.net login page
autoinstall the certificate chain if it doesn't exsist on
the client, so that the SSL certificates always are
trusted without error's and warnings.


regards,

Hi Arno,

As I understand, you want to detect the certificates installed on the
client in ASP.NET. In ASP.NET, the Request object have a property
"ClientCertificate" which including the certificate information from client
side:

frlrfsystemwebhttprequestclassclientcertificatetopic.asp

You may take a look to see if this is helpful.

To install a certificate chain, I think we need to redirect the user to
http://cert-server/certsrv. From security view, we cannot install a
certificate without user's agreement.

Hope this helpful,
