Sharing Encrypted Documents with Certificates

How can I import another user's certificate to grant them access to shared
encrypted documents?

WE have a central CA that we cannot access directly. We have CAC cards that
contain user certificates. We are running Server 2003 AD. When attempting
to add a user to the list of approved user access on the encrypted document,
it errors with a cannot locate user's certificate.

Thanks in advance.

I am not familiar with CAC but try using Active Directory Users and
Computers while logged on as a domain administrator to see if you can see
the user's certificate in the published certificates tab of their user
account [set view to advanced if you can not see that tab] and if it is
there you can export it to a .cer file [that will not include the private
key]. Otherwise check the user's account store on a computer that the user
has logged onto to use EFS. The user would need to logon and use the mmc
snapin for certificates for user and look in the personal\certificates
folder. --- Steve
