The NTFS permissions were the defaults, but I just figured out the problem.
In order to enable certificate login, I needed to change the properties of the web server, not just the web site. On the web *sites* properties/directory security tab I needed to check "Enable the Windows directory services mapper", then under authentication methods I disabled anonymous access and enabled "Integrated Windows authentication." On the web *site* properties/directory security/authentication methods screen I disabled anonymous access and all authentication methods. Now once I've responded to the challenge for the client certificate, I'm logged into the account to which the certificate is mapped. Thanks everyone for all the help. -----Original Message----- From: Laura A.

It sounds like the user to whom you've mapped the certificate doesn't have permissions.
