Hi All;
I created a basic EFS template on my Lab issuing CA and configured it for auto-enrollment on the domain . After doing that I created a new domain user(Test) on the Active directory and logged in to my windows client machine which is windows 7 enterprise using that user (TEST). Now since the machine was set up for auto enrollment the EFS certificate gets issued to the user “TEST” as shown below
Now as per my understanding this Certificate is tied to the User “Test” for doing crypto operation.
So now I created a folder a folder named “Puneet” on the desktop of Windows 7 machine and created a file “secret.txt” inside and now I selected the properties of the file “ secret” and selected the advanced option in which I get the pop up “Advanced Attributes” in that I selected “Encrypt contents to secure data” and now I believe my EFS certificate should come into picture and help me in encrypting the file .
But it fails with below error
I have looked into event log and it does not give much information .
Note: In home Lab setup KRA is up and running on my PKI setup.
Has any one of you encountered this error while doing crypto operation using PKI . Any pointers are welcomedJ
