Issue: We have deployed the three certificates using FAS console and we were able to view and access them in certificate authority console. As per a misconfiguration, we have deleted those three certificates from certificate authority. When we tried to redeploy the certs in our certificate authority server, we ended up in below error:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80072071): CertEnroll::CX509CertificateTemplateADWritable::Commit: An attempt was made to add an object to the directory with a name that is already in use. 0x80072071 (WIN32: 8305 ERROR_DS_OBJ_STRING_NAME_EXISTS)

On the CA server below warning is logged:

Active Directory Certificate Services denied request 2 because The requested certificate template is not supported by this CA. 0x80094800 (-2146875392 CERTSRV_E_UNSUPPORTED_CERT_TYPE). The request was for DC=Citrix_RegistrationAuthority_ManualAuthorization. Additional information: Denied by Policy Module 0x80094800, The request was for a certificate template that is not supported by the Active Directory Certificate Services policy: Citrix_RegistrationAuthority_ManualAuthorization.

We were not able to find the certificate templates in CA server anywhere in GUI and with powershell as well.

Solution:

  • Login to any of your domain controllers and open ADSI edit.

  • Right click on ADSI edit and select “connect to” option

  • In the connection settings dialog box, under “Select a well known naming contect”, click dropdown and select configuration option and click ok. Expand “CN=configuration, DC=domain, DC=com”, and expand “CN=Services” option.

  • Next select “public key services” and then expand “CN=Certificate Templates”.

Here, you should find all three citrix templates. Provide full access to authenticated users, or delete them as per your requirement.
