SYMPTOMS

When you try to send messages over HTTPS in Microsoft Message Queuing 3.0, the messages may remain in the outgoing message queue.

Note This problem only occurs on computers that are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. It does not occur on computers that are running Microsoft Windows XP.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if Message Queuing 3.0 cannot reach the location of the certificate revocation list (CRL) that is specified in the properties of the certificate. Typically, this behavior occurs when the site cannot be accessed or when the port that is specified in the certificate is not open.

RESOLUTION

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this problem, you must add the SkipRevocationCheck DWORD value to the security registry subkey. Then, set the value to 1. Follow these steps, and then quit Registry Editor:

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters\security
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD.
Type SkipRevocationCheck, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
Type 1, and then click OK.
