Hi Guys,
May be this is not really the right forum for this post
but i really hope that u can help me with this. It's a certificate
problem. I am developing an application which is of the
full trusted app type. So the problem that im facing is related with
the cert that should be installed on the client machine. I have created
a certificate using makesert.exe,
provided by the SDK, that has to be installed to the client machine
(into the certificate store - StoreName.Root, StoreName.My, StoreName.TrustedPublisher).
For the purposes of the installation I have created a console
application (.exe) that will help the user to download the certificate
file and to install it to the client machine. The whole program runs
without any problems under Windows XP, but under some versions of Vista
(Vista Business - not working, Vista Home - working) the certificate
is not installed into the StoreName.Root.
here si how i create the cert
1. makecert -r -n "CN=SomeName" -b 20/12/2004 -e 01/01/2099 -sv SomeName.pvk SomeName.cer
2. cert2spc SomeName.cer SomeName.spc
3. pvkimprt -pfx SomeName.spc SomeName.pvk
and here is the installer
namespace CertficateInstaller
{
class CertficateInstaller
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("vanko", "123");
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
byte[] certBytes = webClient.DownloadData("http://servername/SomeName.cer");
<!--[endif]-->
if (certBytes.Length > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("Start....");
createCert(StoreName.TrustedPublisher, certBytes);
createCert(StoreName.Root, certBytes);
createCert(StoreName.My, certBytes);
Console.WriteLine("Cuccess....");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Probelm downloading certificate");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
private static void createCert(StoreName storageName, byte[] certBytes)
{
X509Store store = new X509Store(storageName, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
store.Open(OpenFlags.MaxAllowed);
store.Add(new X509Certificate2(certBytes));
store.Close();
}
}
}
can someone try this on vista busness? I'm getting crazy with this already
