Hi group

does anybody have experience with the pix and ca for isakmp authentication?
I'm trying to set this up but I keep getting strange errors when I ask for
CA for its own cert. I did the following things:

0- setup ip and routing
1- domain-name
2- set the clock
3- create rsa key pair
4- create ca identity and config
5- trying to authenticate

config snip pix
-=-
hostname pix
domain-name siemens.lab
ca identity ca3 144.251.2.100:/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll
ca configure ca3 ra 5 5 crloptional
-=-

pix(config)# sh clock
16:44:07.233 UTC Mon Dec 15 2003
pix(config)# show ca mypubkey rsa
% Key pair was generated at: 15:38:44 UTC Dec 15 2003
Key name: pix.siemens.lab
 Usage: General Purpose Key

pix(config)#

this looks good to me but the following happens:
===========================================================
pix(config)# ca authent ca3

CI thread sleeps!
Crypto CA thread wakes up!
CRYPTO_PKI: http connection opened
PKI: key generation process has been running for 10 seconds
msgsym(GETCARACERT, CRYPTO)!
%Error in connection to Certificate Authority: status = FAIL

CRYPTO_PKI: WARNING: A certificate chain could not be constructed while
selecting certificate status

CRYPTO_PKI: WARNING: Invalid signature on certificate or CRL while checking

CRYPTO_PKI: WARNING: Certificate, private key or CRL was not found while

CRYPTO_PKI: status = 324: failed to verify
CRYPTO_PKI: transaction GetCACert completed
Crypto CA thread sleeps!

pix(config)#
=============================================================

anybody a clue to what might be wrong???
(If I check the log of the ca server I can see that the request reached the
ca. I've got two routers with ipsec/ca with the same ca and that works fine.
The ca is from microsoft win2k with mscep addon installed, release notes pix
say that it must work)
