Active X problem
I'm having trouble downloading a certificate for VPN from my employer's
website because when I get to the certificate page, I get the pop-up message that an Active X control is downloading. But it never loads; it just hangs there. As a result, I'm unable to get a certificate, which seems to be the only thing keeping VPN and Citrix from running. I'm running Vista RC1. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

Active X problem
Ron,
Vista uses a different ActiveX control as compared with older Windows systems (certenroll.dll instead of xenroll.dll). You should upgrade to a Longhorn server whos CA has the proper enrollment pages. Currently, certificates created via web enrollment from a Longhorn server have not the proper extension bits set. So very usefull is this option not (yet).

Active X problem
Thanks for the information. So if I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds
like I just have to wait until the website is capable of dealing with certificate downloads from a Vista computer, right? In other words, hold my horses and not try to run VPN on Vista just yet.

Active X problem
Ron,
Vista has an option to create an offline request. So if your Web CA allows you to upload this request file (or paste in the web form), you could try to use this. In this way you also have not much difficulties for the certificate extensions. Regards, Bob Breimer "Ron Maxey" wrote in message ... Thanks for the information.
