Fix IIS Client Certificate Mapping Authentication Not Visible in Authentication Module
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
We have a Windows Server (IIS 10) hosting an ASP.NET WebForms application.
We need to enable Client Certificate Authentication for our website, but in IIS → Authentication, the following options are NOT visible:
Client Certificate Mapping Authentication
IIS Client Certificate Mapping Authentication
Even though the features are installed and enabled through DISM and appcmd, the IIS Manager UI still does not show them.
This issue is blocking our deployment, and we need an IIS expert who can fix it urgently.
The freelancer must:
1️⃣ Diagnose why these two IIS Authentication features do NOT appear
Client Certificate Mapping Authentication
IIS Client Certificate Mapping Authentication
2️⃣ Fix the root cause, which may include:
Missing or corrupted IIS features
Missing authentication modules (authcert.dll, authmap.dll)
Incorrect configuration in applicationHost.config
Locked or overridden sections
Missing management UI components
Incorrect delegation settings
3️⃣ Ensure the following appear under IIS → Authentication:
✔ Client Certificate Mapping Authentication
✔ IIS Client Certificate Mapping Authentication
4️⃣ Ensure client certificate authentication works
Server requests certificate
Certificate validation occurs
Website loads only when valid certificate is provided
