IIS Error: A specified logon session does not exist


After updated the certificate on the IIS web server today, we found that the web farm replication stopped working. And gave us an error message:

I googled and tried the following two solutions, but neither of them worked for me.

Then I poked around and to my surprise I found the ‘SSL certificate’ that I chose to bind to the site were mysteriously gone!! So I tried to bind it again, it gave me such error this time (which is exactly the same error message that I have seen above). I clicked OK then continue to bind it. After a few trials, the SSL certificate eventually stayed there and the web farm replication back to work as well. Not sure why this happened, I guess it could be a IIS bug. Just want to share it and let you be aware this issue when you renew the SSL certificate, good luck Winking smile
