Failed To Process Secure Request (HTTPS)

Brian Donahue

Hi Krishna,

I have a strange feeling that this has to do with the web server's
certificate not being installed on the client machine's (read: the computer
running ANTS Load) certificate store. If you access the website manually
using Internet Explorer and have to click 'OK' to accept the certificate
every time, then you will probably have to install the cert on the client.

You can get to the certificate store by running MMC and adding the
Certificates snap-in. I'm pretty sure that installing the cert into the
current user's container should do the trick. If not, try putting it into
the machine's certificate store.

Please let us know how you get on.

Regards,

Brian Donahue

FYI -- We have done a fix for this problem. The patch will cause ANTS Load's webclient to override the default certificate policy with a blank certificate policy that will accept any certificate, even if it is expired, has an incorrect domain name, or is not issued through an installed CA. To request a patch to the software, please write to us at support@red-gate.com.
