Client Certificates, Now with a UI!

Dave, a test lead at IIS, sent me a link to Puneet Gupta’s blog post about the Client Certificates UI that he developed.

One of the more common requests we get on the IIS 7 UI team is for a Client Certificates UI Module.  Puneet took advantage of the IIS 7 UI Extensibility and coded up neat working module.

You can find out more about it on his blog:  http://blogs.msdn.com/puneetgupta/archive/2009/08/03/where-is-the-client-certificates-ui-in-iis-7-0.aspx

Currently, the Client Certificates UI only works with 1-to-1 Mappings and does not change any of the SSL settings required to get it to work.  Other than that, all of the configuration options are exposed and ready to use for configuring this authentication method.

Features:

• Fully featured 1-to-1 Certificate Mapping based on a certificate file
• Easy to configure Logon Method for mapped accounts
• Configuration of Default Logon domain
