Default 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.

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).

Regards, Bob Breimer

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.
