Resolving IIS7 SSL errors: "ASN Bad tag value" or "Cannot find certificate request"

On IIS7 servers, you might encounter errors when trying to "Complete Certificate Request" .

  • ASN Bad tag value: This usually indicates the certificate file is corrupted or in the wrong format. Try re-downloading the certificate from your Hostaday account.
  • Cannot find request: This happens if the original CSR was deleted or if you are trying to install the certificate on a different server than the one that generated the CSR.
  • Fix: In such cases, a Reissue with a new CSR generated on the current IIS7 server is the most effective solution .
