This article was previously published under Q245331



SYMPTOMS
When browsing to a Web site, clients can receive the following error message:

403.7-Forbidden: Client Certificate Required Internet Information Services

But Require Client Certificates is not active in the properties of the Web site in the Internet Service Manager Snap-in.



CAUSE
The HTML Administration Web site allows an Administrator to select Require Client Certificates in the properties of a Web site without first selecting Require Secure Channel.

This is not possible in the Internet Service Manager MMC Snap-in.



RESOLUTION
When using the HTML Administration Web site to require Client Certificates, select Require Secure Channel after clicking Properties, then Security, and finally Edit in the Secure Communications section of the Web site.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0.
