Hi,

I am new learning how to setup MS Certificate for Cisco VPN client. The MS
Certificate runs on Windows 2000 AD with 1 way trust with NT 4 domain. Cisco
VPN client is authenticated agains Cisco Radius Server which looks up the
external database from NT 4 domain.

VPN clients are able to request for a new certiicate from MS Certificate
server & logon successfully. BUT, what disappoints me is the generated
certificate from user's machine is not transferrable to another PC. My
preference is to prevent users to create their own certificate. I wish all
certificates to be created & controlled by the administrator. I can export
the certificate but I am unable to export the user's private key. I guess
that's the reason why the certificate is not transferrable between machines.
Am I right? But what's wrong with my configuration - why the option of
exporting the private key is not enabled?

Thanks heaps to whoever that can guide me from here.

Cheerrs.
