Author Question on Crypto API
Ririko Horvath

2005-11-22, 7:04 pm

Hi,

Using the Crypto API, we wrote a progam to store our company generated
certificates and associated private and public key pair under the store
location CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_CURRENT_USER and under the store name MY. When
we access the SSL sites via IE, we noticed that our comapny certificates
shows up on the Client authentication dialog box. Is there any way to set
our certificates so that our company certificates does NOT get displayed on
the Client authentication dialog box?.


Thank you

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools | Internet Options | Content |
Certificates. Now pick which tab you want your certificate to appear on.
MY store corresponds to "Personal" - those are used for client
authentication, e-mail signing and such. Here's how store names
correspond to those tabs:

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
