How to force ie to ask for digital certificate

Question

Well... I have a web page that requires a digital certificate.

When i first Load the page I get a dialogue window asking for the certificate. If I select it then everything work great :) However, if I press cancel and then re-enter the page I am not prompted for the certificate... The page is rendered and a "The page requires a client certificate" Error is displayed.

How can "force" the dialogue window to choose the certificate to show up every time I enter the page?

Answer 1

This isn't an IE problem, it's a webserver problem. You have to configure your website, at the server, to require digital certificates. In IIS this done through the Directory Security tab of the site properties. You have to check "Require SSL", then you can select the option "Require client certificates."
