CA and SSL issue.

[Guest]

Hi all,

I am having issues with my CA on windows 2k. I had set up active directory
and everything was working fine on it until I was told I needed to have SSL
and certificates to run. I installed the CA and didn't see any problems with
it during the installation process or setup. I followed these directions:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;231881

From there I tried to connect to the ldap directory using ldp.exe. This did
not work, I get a cannot connect to server. So I tried creating a key for my
machine using http://hostname/certsrv. I installed the root node's
certificate. Then I tried to make one, I get an error when I try to get a
certificate:
Request Mode:
newreq - New Request
Disposition:
FFFFFFFF - (unknown)
Disposition message:
(none)
Result:
The binding handle is invalid. 0x800706a6 (WIN32: 1702)
COM Error Info:
CCertRequest::Submit The binding handle is invalid. 0x800706a6 (WIN32: 1702)
LastStatus:
The operation completed successfully. 0x0 (0)
Suggested Cause:
No suggestions.

When I try conencting to it using openSSL, I get a ssl handshake failure.

Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

-Johnny

Hi Johnny,

Do you have any errors in event logs (application and system)? Did you try
and restart the CA and IIS service? Did you restart the server?
