Manually through IE6 the process works, (only one certificate is installed and I have the trusted root certificate for the company installed). The website is also configured as a trusted site.
I have tried using the various options under the iHttpInit with respect to certificates to no avail. I still receive the WinInet 12044 error.
Example code:
tophandle=iBegin(0,"","") connecthandle=iHostConnect(tophandle,sHost,@HTTPS,sUser,sPass) datahandle=iHttpInit(connecthandle,"GET",URL,"",0)Any thoughts as to how I can assign an existing certificate to be used with the Winbatch?
In short, it appears winbatch will work when an HTTPS does not require a certificate (ie. automating the process) but when it does require the certificate the 12044 WinInet error comes up.
; I was able to download pages from the winbatch site using winbatch and HTTP via OLE... ; HTTPS looks about the same and you can set the Client Cert in it... ;Example Code ; ;The following example shows how to select a client certificate to send with a request. ;A certificate with the subject "My Middle-Tier Certificate" is chosen from the "Personal" ;certificate store in the registry under ; ;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ; is your certificate in the same place in the registry as below ??? ...

Hopefully in the next release of the extender we will offer a function which will allow you to prompt the user for a certificate.
Note: Starting in version 25070 - Added new function iErrorDialog(handle, error) Displays a dialog box for the error that is passed to InternetErrorDlg, if an appropriate dialog box exists. In the case of ERROR_INTERNET_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED error it will prompt the user to choose a certificate.
