![]() We’ve seen a few instances of the following error message on 64 bit servers when IIS 7.0 is attempting to process a pending certificate request: Complete Certificate Request There was an error while performing this operation. Details: CertEnroll::CX509Enrollment::p_InstallResponse: ASN1 bad tag value met. 0x8009310b (ASN: 267) This error seems to mean that the private key (created when the certificate request was made) does not match the public key (the .crt file). The keypair is not successfully joined into a working SSL certificate. Solution: Begin by importing the .crt file into the Personal certificate store for the local computer. (Start button > Run: MMC > File Menu > Add/Remove Snap-in > highlight Certificates snap-in and click the ADD button > select Computer Account and click Finish > Click OK > drill into Personal > Certificates > right-click and select All Tasks > select Import > guide to the .crt file.) At this point your certificate is basically a half-certificate. It is still missing its private key. The command you’ll want to run is: certutil -repairstore my "{insert all of the thumbprint characters here}" When you see the response: “CertUtil: -repairstore command completed successfully” you should have a private key associated with the .crt file in the personal store. There should no longer be any need to run through the “Complete Certificate Request…” wizard. The certificate should show up in the IIS Manager’s list of server certificates at this point. It should also be available in the SSL Certificates drop-down list when attempting to edit the https binding for a website. Incidentally, a common way of attempting to deal with this error is to take the .p7b file from the Certification Authority and import the CA's certificates into the Trusted and Intermediate stores. As far as I can tell, this approach has no useful effect upon this problem. Other relevant links: |
