MSMQ over HTTPS with Client Authentication Certificate

MSMQ over HTTPS with Client Authentication Certificate

I am configuring MSMQ over https between an XP (send) and Server 2003 w/ IIS
6 (receive). I can send messages successfully over https until I try to
require Client Authentication. I installed the Certificate Authority locally
on the 2003 box and used IE from the XP box to request and install a client
certificate. Before installing the client cert, using IE from the XP box to
https://2003_Server/msmq gave me a message about client certificate required.
After installing the cert I get the standard page cannot be displayed. I
have copied the client cert from Local Computer->Personal store to
MSMQ\Personal store.

When I send messages over MSMQ with the server requiring client certs, the
message disappear from the XP queue but never arrive on the 2003 queue. I
can stop IIS and they re-appear on the XP queue.

I followed all the steps described in the document "Configuring HTTPS
Messaging for MSMQ 3.0" except for the alteration of Active Directory (I am
still allowing anonymous access).

Is there a way to see what happens to the messages on the 2003 side? I have
looked in both side's event logs with mo luck.
