Default proxy web authentication

We use clntrust.exe to authentication user with single sign on.

In the event clntrust.exe has lost itself on the client we also use the
web login.

are there any problems with this on the Vista operating system, for
example the certificates or anything else.

yes, certificate that is assigned to the BM server (in proxy
configuration)
Either IP or DNS
If issued by not trusted CA (which is not imported onto local machine)
then users will get an error

How do I import it ? I've tried this with various other certificates
such as ZCM 10, and Netware certs for imanager. I have had very little
success.

When I export from Netware CA in Console One they are in DER format.

Internet explorer wants the cert in cer format.

I've used the following the convert deom der to cer.

http://www.novell.com/support/php/s...%200%2090860768

Incase site does not work:

1. Export the Self Signed Certificate from ConsoleOne.
a. Open CA object in O=Security
b. Select Certificates -> Self Signed Certificate
c. Do not export the private key.
d. Export the file in DER format; name it c:\RootCert.der

2. Convert .der format to .cer
a. On a Windows workstation double click the c:\RootCert.der and IE will
prompt to import the certificate.
b. Go to the details tab and press copy to file.
c. Follow the wizard until you get prompted to select the format.
Select DER endoded binary X.509 (.CER)
d. Put the file name in (example c:\newcert) and finish. The file will
be named c:\newcert.cer



Correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

When I attempt to import cer format certificate in Internet explorer.. I
assume this is where it needs to be done. I do it at the "Trusted Root
Certification Authority"

Then I attempt to access the SSL site using a certificate signed by this
CA and I still see the same certificate errors.

Any tips ?

You should be able to just open the rootcert.der file in the browse and
follow the default steps to install it as a cert. (I have found that
IE7 seems to want to make this a lot less obvious than previous
versions).

One of the keys when using SSL login is to disable TLS 1.0 support in
the browser. IE7 has that on by default, unlike earlier versions.
Most other browsers have had it on by default for years, so I've always
had to go in and disable it.
