Failed to create cert pipe

mattwise1 · ‎09-11-2008

I am using Cisco VPN Client 5.0.03.0560 and when I am trying to connect it says :

46 08:57:31.733 09/11/08 Sev=Info/6 CERT/0x63600034

Attempting to sign the hash using the private key under Windows Vista.

47 08:57:31.733 09/11/08 Sev=Warning/2 CERT/0xE3600001

Failed to create cert pipe.

Once that happens I start to get failurs on the connect and I am also seeing IKE failurs. Then the client just reports not connected. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Looks like you are trying to use certificates for authentication - is this correct?

mattwise1 · ‎09-11-2008

Yes that is correct.

I actually do not have access to our ASA. I am using a custom built image and I was wondering if there are any group policy settings or anything that would cause this.

The reason I ask is on a normal Windows XP/Vista system the client connects fine so I know it isn't our ASA configuration.

Then I would say this is an issue with the build/version of OS you are using.

Sorry - no idea about Windows Vista, only Cisco.
