9

I installed Sitecore 9, but I'm facing an issue with xConnect I tried to Open the web https://xp0.xconnect and I see an error

HTTP Error 403.16 - Forbidden Your client certificate is either not trusted or is invalid.

Module IIS Web Core Notification BeginRequest Handler
ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0 Error Code 0x800b0109

I used the Chris Auer installation guide, which is excellent and it also generates the Certificate as well.

On the Server Certificates, I can see the generated Certificates. I also tried to generate and Self Signed Certificated and Change, but all my attempts failed Any suggestions? thanks

  • Possible duplicate of sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/8770/… which seems to have a similar issue description Dec 3, 2017 at 23:26
  • Jose, this is likely a duplicate, but can you specify how you are attempting to open the address? Are you using a browser or connecting with an application using the correct client certificate? Dec 4, 2017 at 4:26
  • What version of Windows are you on? Dec 4, 2017 at 8:26
  • I´m using Windows 10, I tried just open on my browser: h t t p : / / xp0.xconnect (it opens) but if i put h t t p s : / / xp0.xconnect/ it fails

Get-Childitem cert:\LocalMachine\root -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Issuer -ne $_.Subject} | Move-Item -Destination Cert:\LocalMachine\CA

Run this query in Powershell.

This happened to me recently when I tried to install a new certificate and put it in the Trusted Root Certificate Authority. Turns out, this makes Windows unhappy, as this store is meant for self-signed certificates. (A full explanation is in this KB article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2801679/ssl-tls-communication-problems-after-you-install-kb-931125)

What deepak's Powershell script does is identify the non-self signed certificates in that store and move them to the Intermediate Certificate Authorities store. I'll repeat it here:

Get-Childitem cert:\LocalMachine\root -Recurse | 
    Where-Object {$_.Issuer -ne $_.Subject} | 
    Move-Item -Destination Cert:\LocalMachine\CA

I didn't figure this out myself, I read a few blog posts and other stack exchange answers, but this is what got me past the problem today.

  • Thank you for the clarification. I ultimately had to remove all of the DO_NOT_TRUST keys I could find, reboot, then reinstall using SIF for the error message to disappear. Aug 1, 2018 at 18:42
