SYMPTOMS
If a Web site in an Application Center 2000 cluster is configured to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and if the Secure Communications option in the properties of the Web site is set to Accept client certificates, request forwarding is unsuccessful.

Note: If Ignore client certificates is selected, request forwarding succeeds.

When you visit a site that has this property setting, a long delay may occur, and you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site https://

The connection with the server was reset.



CAUSE
Request forwarding does not support client certificates.



RESOLUTION
Do not use client certificates on a site with request forwarding.

If you use request forwarding, set the Web site property under Secure Communications to Ignore client certificates.
