Jason,

I had the same problem but under different circumstances.  My CSG server
doesn't have IIS on it so I requested the certificate using IIS on the NFuse
server.  When the certificate arrived from Verisign it needed to be:
     (1)Imported into the NFuse server using IIS
     (2)Exported from the NFuse server using the MMC
     (3)Imported into the CSG server using the MMC

I got the error you did when trying to import the certificate directly from
Verisign into the CSG server.  I needed to go through the NFuse
import/export process first.

By the way, if you just open the .cer file directly I think I read that it
gets placed in the wrong container.
 
The important thing is to make sure that you select the option to allow the
certificate to be exported during the initial request.

I'm not a certificate guru so please just take this for what it is... Some
guy with a little knowledge relaying his experience.

Good Luck,  Jeff

Hmm and you requested the cert using the IIS manager tool. Usually you
then have to go back to that same interface, it sees a pending request
and you point it to the cer file. Done

I've tried using IIS > right click on default website prosperities,
security
tab, server certificate.

And I've tried double clicking on the .cer file.

How are you installing the cert?

Ok, I installed CA on a windows 2000 server in as a stand alone CA.

From the server where I want to install CSG, I request a cert from the
webpage. I improve it on the cert server.
Again from the soon to be CSG server I revisit the cert servers webpage.
I
download a *.cer file. But when I try to install it into IIS is gives me
an
error:
"The pending certificate request for this response file was not found.
This
request may be cancelled. You cannot install selected response
certificate
using this wizard"

I have also tried double clicking on the .cer file and clicking on the
install button. It walks me though the wizard and gives me a message
about
install successful.

But when I try to install CSG it errors out because there is no server
certificate.

Thank you
jb

inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\ICAWEB\en\icajava.

Only needed if running the java client. 

If not you need to install the cert on the box, and tell the clients to
trust that CA by downloading and installing the cert path.

Jason:

Yes, you can use a private cert to see if it works, and use it.  But,
for
$350 or so, you can get a valid commercial 2-year cert from Thawte.

However, if you want to use a private cert, I believe that you must
first go
to the IIS that is running the WI, and request a cert from your CA.
Basically creating a private cert off of your CA.  Then, export that
cert.
Then you copy that cert into the directory
inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\ICAWEB\en\icajava.  Then go to the ICA Client
Deployment page and list the name of the file (not including the path)
in
the last field on the form and place a check box in the section "Use
private
Certificate Authority".  

I believe that there are a couple of other steps that you have to do,
but I
cannot remember all of the steps off hand.

I may be wrong with what I listed out above, and if so, someone please
let
me know, and set me straight. It's been a while since I messed around
with
private certs and WI.

Keith

Subject: [THIN] CSG Test Install


I want to start testing CSG and remote Citrix Access.

During the test period, I would like to run CSG and Nfuse on the same
box
and install STA on a different box. I plan on placing both of the
servers
inside our network and just port forward 443 and 80 to the CSG/Nfuse
Server.

But I'm getting tripped up install CSG because of certificates. I don't
want
to buy one during my testing. Is there a way to create a temp
certificate? I
tried installing windows 2000 cert server (stand alone) and importing
the
cert from that. But it didn't work. 

Anyone have any helpful hints?

Thanks,jb
