SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, several new options have been added to the ServerSupportFunction. The ServerSupportFunction is a callback function that is supplied in the ECB (EXTENSION_CONTROL_BLOCK). It supports several auxiliary functions that are not covered by other explicit callback functions in the ECB. One of these new options is HSE_REQ_GET_CERT_INFO_EX, which returns a CERT_CONTEXT structure. This option is currently only exposed to ISAPI Extensions, so when writing an ISAPI Filter, this call may fail and may not return a CERT_CONTEXT structure as expected.

char CertificateBuf[8192];
CERT_CONTEXT_EX ccex;
ccex.cbAllocated = sizeof(CertificateBuf);
ccex.CertContext.pbCertEncoded = (BYTE*)CertificateBuf;
DWORD dwSize = sizeof(ccex);
if (pfc->ServerSupportFunction(pfc,
(enum SF_REQ_TYPE)HSE_REQ_GET_CERT_INFO_EX,
(LPVOID)&ccex, dwSize,NULL) == FALSE)
{
// Handle Error Here
}
// ccex now contains valid client certificate information.
