Authenticating the Client

Before a client can request a certificate, the client must be authenticated. Internet Information Server (IIS) authenticates the client by impersonating the client to the Microsoft Certificate Server and prevents anonymous access to the Certificate Server Web Enrollment pages. If the user credentials are not stored in the Windows CE client through the Credential Manager, the server prompts the client for credentials. You can also specify the user credentials in the enrollment configuration file. The sample configuration file is Enroll.cfg. For more information about enrollment configuration options, see Configuring Enroll.exe.
