Hello!
My name is Kenneth Petterson, and I work as an Internet developer for
Sema Group in Stockholm. My current project involves the use of ssleay
to generate client certificates, that we sign acting as our own CA. It
all works fine, using Netscape Navigator. The problem starts when we are
trying to use the generated certificates in Explorer.
We have implemented the solution developed by Clifford Heath (involving
the certnum.dll), and Explorer seems to accept our certificate. When I
check the register, I can see that it adds the information from the new
certificate. But, when connecting to an Apache-webserver that requires
client certificates, Explorer prompts me to choose which certifite to
use. The problem is that the list is empty! The exact same list contains
the installed certificates, when I control it in 'passive' mode so to
speak.
In trying to find out the problem I have visited a number of sites, but
the picture that I get is quite confused. Which versions of Explorer
support client certificates generated by ssleay? Are there differences
in language implementations (we're using a Swedish version)?
In summary, my question has two parts - the specific problem of
'disappearing' certificates, and, more importantly, what is the general
status of Explorer vs certificates?
Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated,
/Kenneth Pettersson
