Erreur OpenConnection : 0x80070005 - CCertView::OpenConnection: Access denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5)

Question

Hi,
I am trying to make a webservice work on my ADCS. The aim of the script is to automate revocation of a certificate (the CN of the certificate is given in parameter).
I am facing the following error when call my webservice:
Erreur OpenConnection : 0x80070005 -> CCertView::OpenConnection: Access denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5)
My guess is, here is the line that triggers the error:
CertView.OpenConnection( strCAConf )
The script is pubished through an ASP application in IIS. The application runs with a domain account. It is based on the following method:

Do you know what kind of right and where it needs to be applied in order to make this piece of code work?
Thank you so much.
Regards,
Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,
I am not sure about what permissions does the command OpenConnection require, you may need to refer to MSDN forums to get an accurate answer.
Microsoft Developer Network Forums

However, revoking certificates requires Issue and Manage Certificates permissions. I suggest you assign Issue and Manage Certificates permissions to the domain account, then try to run the script. If it doesn’t work, try use a domain admin account to test.
