Client Cert. Auth. with an IIS 5.0 Web Server

Client certificate authentication is not supported for IIS 5.0 web servers at the producer or Identity Provider. Use this authentication on an IIS 5.0 web server at the consumer or Service Provider to communicate with a non-SiteMinder producer or Identity Provider.

To work around this issue, use the IIS 5.0 web server client certificate functionality at the producer or Identity Provider. Do not configure SiteMinder client certificate functionality. If you apply this workaround, be aware that the CN portion of the certificate DN value must contain the affiliate name value.
