STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Certificate Server, version
2.0.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows NT
Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. This problem was first corrected in Windows
NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 6 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition
Service Pack 6.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Changes made to Service Pack 6 include:
- Certificate server had several work-arounds and special processing when the
encoding length was 7f. This caused the installation to fail during
installing a CA. This special processing is now disabled by default.
- The Certificate Revocation List (CRL) is a list of revoked certificates that
is digitally signed by the issuer of those certificates. Previously the
certificates were not published by default; now the certificates are.
- Error reporting was improved. New errors are not introduced, but error
detection was increased to ensure messages are published when errors are
encountered.
- Certificate Server Setup has added the option for the administrator to
control the keysize. This is done via a dropdown list with supported values
(for example: 512, 1024, 2048, 4096). The default size is still 512.
