iis security : IIS cert denied

Hello,

I am using Server 2003 and was trying to create a new cert
request. When I finish and the request is just about to be
generated I get the wizard saying:

cannot generate request access denied.

Well never have seen this one before.
I removed the machine name cert that is installed and
tried again
same thing.
So I checked the other sites to maybe think that I forgot
something?
I even removed the cert from the administration site.

Do I have to reinstall IIS here?

Thanks

Hello,

Try this:
a.. Start the Certificate Services service.
b.. Grant Read and Enroll access for the template to the appropriate user
or group by using the Sites and Services snap-in. You can set the access
rights on the Security tab by expanding the following items: Services,
Public Key Services, Certificate Templates. Note that the Show Services Node
check box must be selected on the View menu to see the Services tab.
HTH.

Thanks.

Joe,

As I understand you have removed certificate services...Please go ahead and
install it again.Then try creating certificate request.

Could you try creating new certificate request from the website in IIS or in
web browser using http://<certservername>/certsrv

HTH.

Thanks

Joe,

Please check event logs and see if there any event id's related to
certificate or ssl.

Could you post it here(event logs if you see any)? Could you send me the
snap shot of error message. Send it to ganeshanekar@rediffmail.com

Few more questions:
1.Are you logged in as administrator?
2.Where is certificate services installed? on the same box or another box?
3.While generating request are you just preparing the request and sending it
later?

Thanks.

I really really appreciate this!!
I do not see anything but the stopped and start of the=20
Certcerv

There is one DTC here it is

Security Configuration (OFF =3D 0 and ON =3D 1):
Network Administration of Transactions =3D 1,
Network Clients =3D 0,
Distributed Transactions using Native MSDTC Protocol=20
=3D 1,
Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP) =3D 0,
XA Transactions =3D 1



I think I better send the images.

1.Yes I am the administrator and I am logged in as one
2. I was able to generate a Cert for anyone who came to=20
the web to apply the certsrv e.g.=20
http://mydomain.com/certsrv I was issueing my own certs=20
for internal use. Same box
3. I was using the IIS manager as I have always done to=20
create a CSR to be intalled later from a commercial CA for=20
my E commerce web.

I will be sending the images

Thanks
Joe

Joe,

I received you email with snap-shots.

To resolve the first issue and to install certificate services please follow
the steps below:

Give Administrator and Administrators full control on the folder: -
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys

Then try installing certificate services again. One you install Certificate
services successfully try to generate new request from IIS again.

Thanks much.

Have a nice weekend.
