- You install Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 or a later version on a computer that is running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012.
- You install the IIS Client Certificate Mapping module.
- You configure client certificate mappings and certificate mapping rules on the computer.
Note You can use client certificates for user authentication purposes. For more information about this, go to the "References" section. - The client certificate field (compared with the matchCriteria property) is a string that is longer than 64 characters and that includes the terminating NULL. For example, the name of the user ("Issued to") is a string that contains more than 64 characters.
