Certificate mapping fails on a Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer that is running the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools PackArticle ID: 940864 - View products that this article applies to. On This PageSYMPTOMSOn a Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer that is running the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack, you map a certificate to the corresponding Active Directory directory service user account in the domain. However, certificate mapping fails. The corresponding user account may receive authentication errors when the user tries to use the certificate to obtain authentication in applications that use Active Directory certificate mapping. For example, when a certificate is mapped to an Active Directory user account from a Windows XP-based computer, you cannot use this certificate to log on to the domain through Microsoft Internet Security and Accleration (ISA) Server. CAUSEThis problem occurs because the string that is used for the altSecurityIdentities property in Active Directory is inconsistent when a certificate is mapped to a user account from a Windows XP SP2-based client computer.
