IE9 stops at "looking for credential tiles..." dialog when using smartcard

0

When I try to access secure page using smartcard I get "looking for credential tiles..." dialog and IE stays there for ever. Only option is then to rebot PC.

After reboot I can always access the site for the first time but when I leave the site or logof and try to access it later it doesn't work and I need rebot.

I'm using Win7 32bit sp1

This sound like a problem unique to your computer. Have you tried to use a different browser? I understand your unlikely to have this ability. Is this a pesonal or work PC? – Ramhound – 2011-12-20T14:09:56.583

Check the list of Windows services. This can happen if a third party software has disabled the service "Credential Manager Service" (VaultSvc).

Start a command line with administrative permissions (Start, enter cmd and press Ctrl+Shift+Return) then type

net start VaultSvc

Afterwards retry accessing the secure page. The dialog "looking for credential tiles..." should be only visible for a short time now.

BTW: On German systems the error message is "Anmeldeinformationen werden gesucht.." and the service name is "Anmeldeinformationsverwaltung"

After applying Robert's answer you might want to try to remove the smartcard from the smartcard reader and then re-insert it again.

Clicking "No", then doing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then "Cancel" will get you out of this without a reboot.
