Active Directory Client Certificate Authentication

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Use Active Directory (AD) Client Certificateauthentication to map client certificate information across many servers.

Note

Wildcard mapping with AD Client Certificate authentication is less efficient than the native IIS wildcard mapping.

If you select AD Client Certificate authentication, you cannot use IIS certificate mapping for any other sites hosted on the selected server.
