Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it
if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the
"Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a
Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
SUMMARYSYMPTOMS
When you try to obtain a certificate from the locally installed Microsoft
Certificate Server 1.0, an error message may appear and the application
event log may contain the following error:
The Certificate Server could not process request * due to an error:
0x8007000d. The request was for CN=*, OU=*, O=*, L=*, S=*, C=*. The
certificate would contain an encoded length that is potentially
incompatible with older enrollment software. Submit a new request using
different length input data for the following field: Extensions.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry
Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys
And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and
Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics
in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit
it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency
Repair Disk (ERD). To resolve this problem, you must edit the registry and
disable the 127-character-length-checking option. To set this option, you
must change the value of CertEnrollCompatible from 1 to 0.
The registry path is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CertSvc
\Configuration\<Your certificate authority's common name>\
NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for
readability.
After making the change in the registry, you must stop and restart the
Certificate Server computer.
