ISA Server 2004 - Web Publishing Problem

Aaron · Guest

Hello,

I have setup a Web Publishing Rule in ISA Server 2004 and seem to be
experiencing a problem when attempting to connect from outside the
network. The exact error, "Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The
target principal name is incorrect. (-2146893022)." The rule has a
path that accesses a virtual directory for IIS and uses SSL. Within
the network everything seems to be working properly.

Based on some troubleshooting, I believe the problem may have to do
with the certificates. When I go to the Bridging tab under the
Properties for the Rule there is a check box that indicates, "Use a
certificate to authenticate to the SSL Web server." When I click
Select to find the appropriate certificate I receive the error, "There
are no certificates configured on this server."

It seems that while the certificate is installed locally as a personal
certificate it is not setup in the system store which would be why ISA
Server is unable to see the certificate. I've done some research but
have not found the method of installing the certificate so that ISA
can recognize it. Does anyone how to do this properly? I am assuming
that this is the root cause of my problem but if I have gone astray I
would appreciate any advice.

Thank you,
Aaron
