Certificate server Web enrollment problems

[Guest Briano]

For some reason I cannot connect to our certificate server via the web

interface. Using http://servername/certsrv I get a "page cannot be

displayed error". Should I be able to connect this way at the certificate

server itself ? If I should be able, I can't. How can I determine if the

cert web server is actually running? It appears to be, at least it does not

show "stopped".

 

Is ther a troubleshooting routine I can follow somewhere ?

 

Thanks for any help.

Have you checked that the Default Web Site in IIS is running and configured

to accept requests on port 80? If the Web Site is running check to see if the

connection requires SSL.

 

Even if the Certificate Server Service is not running you should still be

able to log onto the Web page so this is most likely an IIS or a Firewall

issue blocking port 80.

Thanks Johan, I am trying everything I can think of. The certificate server

was installed using the default install. There is an ISA server in the

network but I have shut it down for testing. I have tried changing the port

of the certificate server (from 80 to 8066) but no help there. I did stop

and restart iis on each change.

 

Is there a security log somewhere I can access? There is a log in

c:\windows\system32\logfile\ for each day and it does show the attempted

accesses but no error descriptions, at least not that I can read.

 

All this started from trying to install Office Communicatins Server 2007 and

having certificate problems with the workstations. I really appreciate your

advice and willing to try anything to get this thing to work.

Re: Certificate server Web enrollment problems

 

Hi, Is ISA running on the Certificate Server ? if so that could be the

problem. Ensure you have created a firewall policy allowing traffic on port

80 to pass then create a connectivity verifier to test your rule.

 

Have you created
