Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a RADIUS authentication method using 802.1x in a
test lab, although I'm having a problem with certificates I wondered if
anyone could help please.

I have :

an IAS (Internet Authentication Service) server,
an IIS (web) server,
a Domain Controller and
a test client.

All the above are Win Server 2003 except the client which is XP Pro,
and are all in a test domain.

My problem is that I don't want to use the Domain Controller as the
Certification Authority, so I've installed CA on the web server, and
given it relevant permissions. Now when I request a certificate for the
computer account of the IAS server, I get the error

"There are no trusted certification authorities available, You do not
have permissions to request certificates from the available CAs, or the
available CAs issue certificates to which you do not have permissions."

The IAS server which I'm trying to request a certificate for has the
Trusted Root Certificate from the CA server (the web server) in it's
Trusted Root Certificates store.

Now I'm logging in as an Enterprise Admin everytime I log in to any
computer, so I wouldn't have thought its permissions.

I'd be most grateful if anyone could help

Just answered in microsoft.public.server.security.

Try not to do multiposting. Use NNTP newsreader instead of Web interfaces if
you can, and do cross-posting when it's appropriate.
