PIX 515E and certificates

Hi to everyone!

I'm trying to configure certificate use for my PIX (515E with PIX 6.3). I have installed CA on MS Windows 2003 Server (domain controller) as enterprise stand-alone CA, and also I have installed Microsoft SCEP adds-on. But when configuring PIX, I stop on instruction:

ca authenticate my_CA_nick_name

which returns:

msgsym(GETCARACERT, CRYPTO)! %Error in connection to Certificate Authority: status = FAIL

CA identity is configured as follow:

ca identity jowisz 172.16.0.10:/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll

I'm suspecting that problem is due password requirements by SCEP service (When I enter manually address 172.16.0.10:/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll into my browser, I'm prompted for password). I have read in Resource Kit Help, that I can disable this password requirements by setting HK_LM\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\MSCEP\AllowAll to 1, but it didn't work!

Any idea what is wrong?

P.S. After turning on "debug crypto ca" command "ca authenticate jowisz" produces following output:

pix(config)# ca auth jowisz
