title: IE: Choose a digital certificate from a blank, empty list
body: <p>I've created a web application that I've hosted with IIS 7 on a Windows Server 2008 machine.  I've loaded a security certificate for secure.xxxxx.com.</p>

  <p>When I browse to the web site with <strong>Microsoft Internet Explorer</strong>, I get this prompt:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Choose a digital certificate<br>
    Identification<br>
    The website you want to view requests identification.<br>
    Please choose a certificate.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>There are no certificates.  It's an empty, blank list.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LVig2.gif" alt="Internet Explorer Choose a digital certificate"></p>
  
  <p>If I click either OK or Cancel, then the page loads just fine.  There's no warning or other indication from Internet Explorer that there is a security issue.</p>

  <p>The <strong>Apple Safari</strong> browser won't display the page at all.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Safari can't open the page.<br>
    Safari can't open the page xxxxx because
    it couldn't establish a secure connection
    to the server xxxxx.</p>

  <p>Both <strong>Mozilla Firefox</strong> and <strong>Google Chrome</strong> load the web site perfectly with no hassles.</p>

  <p>Why might Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple Safari fail to load my web site properly?</p>
