Exchange 2010 OWA with Client Certificates
- by Christian
I have enabled Client Certificate Authentication for Exchange 2010 through IIS7 and the users are prompted to choose their User Certificate when they log in, but they are all then presented with the following error message
Request Url: https://<domain_name>:443/owa/ User host address:
<server_ip_address> OWA version: 14.1.355.2
Exception Exception type: System.NullReferenceException Exception
message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Call stack
Microsoft.Exchange.Clients.Owa.Core.RequestDispatcher.GetUserIdentities(OwaContext
owaContext, OwaIdentity& logonIdentity, OwaIdentity& mailboxIdentity,
Boolean& isExplicitLogon, Boolean& isAlternateMailbox,
ExchangePrincipal& logonExchangePrincipal)
Microsoft.Exchange.Clients.Owa.Core.RequestDispatcher.InternalDispatchRequest(OwaContext
owaContext)
Microsoft.Exchange.Clients.Owa.Core.RequestDispatcher.DispatchRequest(OwaContext
owaContext)
Microsoft.Exchange.Clients.Owa.Core.OwaRequestEventInspector.OnPostAuthorizeRequest(Object
sender, EventArgs e)
System.Web.HttpApplication.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()
System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean&
completedSynchronously)
The method I followed to enable Certificate authentiaction was from this post:

Any ideas? Google isn't being very helpful
