Applies ToWindows Vista Service Pack 2 Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2

Support for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ends on July 12, 2011. To continue receiving security updates for Windows, make sure you're running Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2). For more information, refer to this Microsoft web page: Support is ending for some versions of Windows.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.

  • You run an application that uses the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to download files from a server.

  • The server that hosts files requests Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client authentication.

  • You are using certificate-based authentication.

In this scenario, you cannot download the files by using the BITS service.

Cause

This issue occurs because of an error in the BITS service.When the BITS service receives an "ERROR_WINHTTP_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED" error, and no client certificate is provided, the service does not set the WINHTTP_NO_CLIENT_CERT_CONTEXT option. Therefore, the download attempt fails.
