The server certificate for instance '4' has expired or is not yet valid.

[pieterv]

Hello,

We have three environments test, acceptance and production. On the test
and production environment everything works fine, but acceptance is
something different. So you should say make acceptance the same as test
and production. So I did but it still doesn't work.

When I open my webservice in my browser I get the dialog box "Choose a
digital certificate" this box is empty in acceptance and filled in test
and production.
- I set the site to ignore certificates
- I set the webservice to require certificates and require ssl with
encryption
- I set the Certificate Trust List

The only error I could find in the eventviewer was:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 45
Date: 30-3-2006
Time: 12:05:24
User: N/A
Computer: EHIC_SERVER01
Description:
The server certificate for instance '4' has expired or is not yet
valid.

Apparently your server certificate has expired or is not valid yet which
could happen if the time is not synched between the CA and the server. You
can use IIS Management Console or the mmc snapin for certificates for
computer to examine the properties of the server certificate and check the
valid dates and also check the time on your server to compare and verify
that the servers time is correct for day/month/year/AM or PM/timezone. ---
