ASP.NET & Client Certificates

ASP.NET v1.0 applications have a problem delivering a client certificate to a secure endpoint. While there are ways around this problem using .NET Enterprise Services (a.k.a. COM+ Services) the performance with the .NET Enterprise Services solution is less than ideal and the implementation has less to be desired. Microsoft has since come out with a fix that allow ASP.NET v1.0 to deliver the certificate Ckeck out the article. The performance with this solution is much better and the design is very simple. I have not tested ASP.NET v1.1 to see if the original problem still exists… stay tuned.
