In order to secure my Rest Services, I have enabled SSL in IIS and Created a Self-Signed Certificate and assigned it to the HTTPS binding in IIS. I exported the same as pfx file and added the same in IE also but when I try to access the Services, I get the following error on Windows 7, Enterprise edition
HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden
The page you are attempting to access requires your browser to have a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificate that the Web server recognizes.
And on Windows Server 2003, this is
HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden: SSL client certificate is required.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
I am not sure what shall I do except adding the certificate in IE under “Personal” and “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”? Could you please suggest me some step, in order to make this work.
Note: I have tried with “Self-Signed Certificates” as well as with Certificates generated from Microsoft “Certificate Services” also.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
SSL is used to verify the identity of the server, not the identity of the client. The error suggests (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/199215, "This is used for authenticating you as a valid user of the resource. ") the server wants to identify the client. Which of the two are you trying to do?
Edit: SSL requires the public part of the SSL certificate to be available to the client. Adding it to the trusted root certificates seems to me to be the only way to make the public part of a self-signed certificate available to the browser.

Good day,
My web application need to connect to IBM third party to get some response. Thus, IBM give me a .p12 file which contain of client certificate.
At first I import this .p12 file into my existing CellDefaultKeyStore, and it will hit certificate chain error.
com.ibm.jsse2.util.j: PKIX path building failed: java.security.cert.CertPathBuilderException: PKIXCertPathBuilderImpl could not build a valid CertPath.; internal cause is:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: The certificate issued by xxx is not trusted; internal cause is:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Certificate chaining error
Then I go import this .p12 file into NodeDefaultKeyStore, and surprisingly its work. My application able to call to the third party and get reponse code 200.
I am not understand how to explain to my client on this.
As my understanding, management scope in CellDefaultKeyStore is bigger because its in cell, NodeDefaultKeyStore should consider part of cell only, suppose CellDefaultKeyStore should work.
Anyone can advise on this?
Just to shortly explain few concepts:
CellDefaultTrustStore - is store for signer certificates, for the servers that you connect to, to be trusted. It is shared by all the nodes and servers by default
NodeDefaultKeyStore - is store for private certs, so the certs that are used for client authentication. Each node by default has its own store and private cert to authenticate.
CellDefaultKeyStore - is store for private certs associated with the cell. Used by deployment manager, not nodes serving apps. It is NOT used by federated nodes.
NodeDefaultSSLSettings - this manages SSL config for the given node, you can check it. By default it is using NodeDefaultKeyStore (not CellDefaultKeyStore), and CellDefaultTrustStore
But back to your question.
If you need to connect to some service using client certificate authentication, what you should do is:
create new keystore with cert from the p12 file
create new truststore with all signer certs required to connect to that service
create new SSL Config that will point to these stores
create Dynamic outbound endpoint SSL configuration settings, pointing to your ssl config, select correct client cert, and specify connection info in the form protocol,host,port
This configuration will be picked up when you will be doing outbound ssl connection that matches info you entered.
I am trying to wrap my head around how this should be set up correctly. I have two certificates, a client certificate and a service certificate. I've placed these in the MMC, on the service account for the host instance that handles the send port. So the client certificate is placed in the Personal folder and the service certificate is placed in the Trusted People folder.
I've tried using several "Find" methods to locate these certificates, such as thumbrprint and serial number, but I always get a "Certificate not found" exception back.
My current settings on the adapter.
Client certificate:
Service certificate:
My settings for Authentication:
SSL Certificate Authentication settings:
What is the correct way to add the certificates to the different stores, so that they can be located by Biztalk? I've found the MSDN documentation on the topic, but it doesn't really provide any answers: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/wcf/clientcertificate-of-clientcredentials-element
You have to be logged in as the BizTalk Service Account to manage Certificates. Run As doesn't typically work.
Other than that, the instructions should be correct.
I need to configure an application to accept connection only from client with a certificate, the client should be ApiGateway.
I followed this step by step tutorial. But when I should upload a certificate and enable a checkbox called "Enable request of client certificate" in upload dialog box it disappear.
I tried with many browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) on a Mac. I'm quite that this not depend on browser, so now how can do the same thing?
Thanks for every answer.
From my understanding, the given task needs to be separated into two activities.
Client with certificate
A client with DNS APIgateway
Client with Certificate
In general, when we create an API, we expose with a gateway via HTTP protocol which has some signed certificate (Production). Please provide that public certificate to the consumer of your API. And you can test this using postman, we have an option of SSL certificate upload in Postman, make a use of it for testing.
Client with DNS Name
For this, in Datapower (API Gateway), you can create an Access control list following this IBM documentation. Access control list is something, we allow or restrict the host that we consume the services exposed using Datapower.
Getting below error
Http Action - Request to host 'sipoc.cloudapp.net' failed: TrustFailure The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
while invoking below WCF RestService on https from Azure scheduler service GET job.
below is the webservice URL
https://sipoc.cloudapp.net/Service1.svc/GetPlayersXMl
Service URL is working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
If I browse to the URL provided it indicates that the SSL certificate is not trusted.
"The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid. "
Scheduler jobs will fail as it can't trust the endpoint. You can either use a trusted certificate or just use HTTP (instead of HTTPS).
Although I would never recommend this in production unless you know the cert is valid (i.e. self signed), you can override the default behavior and confirm that the cert is good.
Below is a sample on how to do it in C#. There are a couple of ways to write it. The advantage here is that it remains SSL encrypted (versus falling back to HTTP).
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (sender, certificate, chain, errors) => true;
Just got my Lync server deployed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and am trying to connect via Lync client on a different machine. When attempting to sign in, the client throws an error saying "Cannot sign in to Lync: There was a problem verifying the certificate from the server.".
Looking deeper, into the client box's event viewer, I see the following error "The certificate received from the remote serer was issued by an untrusted certificate authority. Because of this, none of the data contained in the certificate can be validated. The SSL connection request has failed. The attached data contains the server certificate. ....
My organization has an internal CA, which is in charge of issuing all required certificates to the Lync server. My client box has installed the internal CA (root) as a trusted CA provider. To me, this should cause any certificates that issues, including the Lync certificates, to be trusted.
I installed Lync client on the same box that Lync server is hoted, and am able to log in fine. My error only occurs when connecting from a different box.
Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!
I had same issue. To resolve: from client, hit url of CA Authority, some thing like http://CAservername/certsrv this provided option to download a CA Certificate Chain.
Put this into local computer trusted root certs and I was good to go.
As mentioned in the error message ("Cannot sign in to Lync: There was a problem verifying the certificate from the server"), this is clearly a certification error. If you work in a big company (where they have they own internal CA - (Certification Authority)) in most cases they would have used their internal certificate to establish trust relationship. If you just install/export the Root certificate of the CA under "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities” of “Local Computer” account, this error should be resolved.
If your company doesn't have own CA, then find our who issued the certificate for Lynch and install/export the root certificate of that CA to the same location as above, this issue should be resolved.
