Question

Basically, the title: How do I add a Client Certificate and Private Key to the Users Store in Windows with C++?

I've found the function PFXImportCertStore which will let me load the cert and private key from a PKCS12 into a temporary cert store but I dont know how to save this store to the users store. The goal is to add a private key which other applications can access (for example, Outlook).

Was it helpful?

Solution

I needed to call CertAddCertificateContextToStore to put it in the store that I wanted.
