Client Certificates

I'm trying to implement the use of client certificates on Firepass. I have my root certificate installed and have issued a client certificate to a test user. Following the guidelines from SO8095 I've installed the client certificate using the mmc to both Certificates - Current User and Certificates - Local Computer under the areas of personal certificates and trusted root certification authorities. And, under the master group authentication I've checked the box to require client certificate for user log on.

 

When I try logging on with my test user it fails with an error of "unable to find client certificate". I've tried setting a pre-logon sequence to check for client certificate as well, but it's unable to find the certificate either.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sorry to necro on everyone but I am having that same problem now. I'm working with support, hopefully we can clear this up.

     

  • I don't know if this will help you, but I discovered that I forgot to check "request client certificate" under the web service.

     

    Good luck

    What Firepass version are you running? I'm having some hard times setting this up on version 7.0.
  • I got this working. It was an issue with the Big-IP SSL profile ;)

     

     

    Thanks for the help.
