Blank choose a digital certificate box popping up
I recently installed a 3rd party digital certificate to exchange OWA and IIS. Now when I go to the OWA website a box pops up in the middle of the screen that says “Choose a digital certificate” with nothing in the box. How can I fix IIS so that this box doesn’t pop any more.
