Enabling Client Certificate Authentication on IIS 5.x+ web server

To enable Client Certificate Authentication on IIS 5.x+ you will need to obtain Certification Authority [CA] Certificates, your own Digi-Access™ Client Certificate and setup a local user (or Active Directory Domain) account on a Windows Server that the IIS 5.x+ web server is installed and running on.

2.1 Obtaining and installing the Digi-Access™ Certification Authority Certificates

    To obtain the Digi-Access™ Root Certification Authority Certificate, use the following URL:

    Digi-Sign Root CA

To obtain the Digi-Access™ Intermediate Certification Authority Certificate, use the following URL:

Digi-Sign CA Digi-Access Xs

Once you save these Certificates to the desktop (or another directory on the hard drive) of the web server machine, then:
