Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:

    • Windows Vista

    • Windows Server 2008

    • Windows 7

    • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • You have an application that enables Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) on the computer.

  • The application relies on a client certificate in the store of a user to authenticate with a server.

  • The application performs mutual authentication by using the client certificate.

In this scenario, the authentication causes an exception intermittently, and you receive an error message that resembles the following:

The X.509 certificate CN=<Host> chain building failed

Then, the application cannot authenticate with the server.

Note The client certificate is deleted from the store of the user when this issue occurs, and you have to reinstall the certificate for the application to work again.

Cause

This issue occurs because the root certificate is deleted by lsass.exe during SSL communication in a WCF application.
