Authentication/Membership using PKI

Discussion in 'General troubleshooting' started by Rookie, Mar 1, 2009.

  1. Does anyone know how difficult PKI authentication is to use for asp.net applications? I set up a really simple website on a Server 2003 machine running IIS 6 and I found documentation on enabling client authentication using client certificates(PKI) but I don't see how to tie this into my .net web application as a membership provider. I would think it would work just like Windows Authentication but it does seem to.

    Any ideas/advice or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    sorry.. never tried it.
     
  3. I do know there are some legal issues.
    For some U.S. companies I was forced to drop PKI for Internet transactions between the U.S. and Germany.
    Do a search, you should be able to dig up some junk on this.
    Salute,
