Hi Christian,
 
I think the issue is IIS 4. There is a procedure for exporting IIS 4 certs and 
importing them to the ISA Server, but I don't recall the specifics and I've 
done actually done it myself. Check the KB for the details and let us know what 
you find out!
 
Thanks!
Tom

        OK Tom,
         
        I agree this article was wrong. I do not want to use client 
certificates.
         
        But anyway, my problem is not solved! 
         
        I want to secure publish a web site using web publishing rules. If I 
understand things correct, there is no way to just TUNNEL the incoming ssl 
request to the internal web server. With web publishing its only possible to 
BRIDGE the ssl request either as HTTP or SSL (establishing a new ssl connection 
to internal web server)... Correct?
         
        However, to terminate the incoming ssl request at the ISA server it 
needs a SERVER certificate. I imported a X.509 certificate (exported from the 
internal web server running iis 4.0) to the local machine in the folder 
"personal"... After restarting the services and even rebooting the machine it 
is not posible for me to set up an incoming web request listener to use this 
imported certificate. I just get the error "there are no certificates 
configured on this server"... I already read your "Questions of the week" 
http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Tom_Shinders_ISA_Server_Questions_of_the_Week__August_5_2002.html
 issue which covers this problem. But even changing the certificate properties 
to "Enable only the following purpose (Server authentication)" did not solve my 
problem...
         
        I followed each step exactly as mentioned in your first book. Maybe you 
have another idea?
         
        Greets.

                Hi Christian,
                 
                Be very clear that this article explains what's required when 
the Web site on the internal network request client certificate AUTHENTICATION. 
Make sense? Its NOT required to create an SSL link for SSL to SSL bridging.
                 
                HTH,

                        First, I found an answer to my first question (it is 
only possible with server publishing)...
                         
                        To the second point: in the meatime I found an article 
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q281/1/06.ASP 
<http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q281/1/06.ASP> ) explaining 
that the certificate should be imported under service account (and selecting 
"Microsoft Web Proxy Service")... Anyway, same error occurs even after 
restarting the server ;-((
                         
                        Does nobody has a comment on this one??

                                Hi all... 

                                1. Is it possible to pipe ssl requests through 
isa to the internal web server without installing a certificate on isa itself? 
Only possible with server publishing?

                                2. I have problems installing a certificate 
exported from iis 4.0 on the isa server computer. The certificates-mmc shows up 
the certificate in "Personal \Certificates". The certificate was installed 
using "Local machine". I also reconfigured the certificate properties to "Only 
Enable the follwing purposes (Server authentication)"... However, when I want 
to set the incoming web request listener to use a certificate it says "there 
are no certificates configured on this server"... I restarted ISA management 
and the whole computer but no change... Anyone has some other tips??

                                Greets, 

                                Christian
