Hello to all friends!
I am using an example program in MS Visual C++ taken from MSDN at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa382372(VS.85).aspx. I
created a certificate using
makecert -n "CN=Test" -sk Test -ss my Test.cer
This created a store 'my' and a Test.cer file. i see 'Test.cer' there
in ...\vc\bin folder. I could not find any store with the name 'my'.
now when i executed the code below (complete program is at the above
link),
[CODE]
......
#define SIGNER_NAME L"Test"
......
#define CERT_STORE_NAME L"my"
......
if ( !( hCertStore = CertOpenStore(
CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM,
0,
NULL,
CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_CURRENT_USER,
CERT_STORE_NAME)))
{
MyHandleError(TEXT("The MY store could not be opened."));
goto exit_SignMessage;
}
// Get a pointer to the signer's certificate.
// This certificate must have access to the signer's private key.
if(pSignerCert = CertFindCertificateInStore(
hCertStore,
MY_ENCODING_TYPE,
0,
CERT_FIND_SUBJECT_STR,
SIGNER_NAME,
NULL))
{
_tprintf(TEXT("The signer's certificate was found.\n"));
}
else
{
MyHandleError( TEXT("Signer certificate not found."));
goto exit_SignMessage;
}
[/CODE]
it give error "Singer Certificate not found". Can any body help me
how to solve this problem? The 'my' certificate store, is not visible.
can I open the store in some editor etc to see the certificate? Or how
to create a store then?
regards,
