A local-to-local connection is broken when you create a connection security rule that has the “Accept health certificates only” option enabled on a Windows Vista-based computer

Consider the following scenario:

  • On a Windows Vista-based computer, you create a connection security rule that uses a computer certificate.
  • In this security rule, you enable the Accept health certificates only option.

In this scenario, the local-to-local connection is broken on the Windows Vista-based computer.

For example, assume that you start Internet Information Services (IIS) on the Windows Vista-based computer. When you try to connect to the local address by entering either “http://localhost” or the local IP address in Internet Explorer, you discover that the connection is broken.

Note: This problem does not occur if the Accept health certificates only option is not enabled or if Kerberos authentication is used.

There is a download that resolves this issue. See Hotfixes for details.
