Hi, Using OpenSSL I've created a (RSA algorithm) Root private-key and associated (X.509v3) Root CA certificate.
On each user (client) (Windows) machine I've been happily creating, again using OpenSSL, a private-key and associated client certificate (issued by my above Root CA in response to a CSR). The goal is to provide client authentication to a central secure web server. On each client machine I was able to import the Root CA certificate into the IE browser's security database. However I'm failing miserably to import the local private-key into the local IE Browser's security database. (Consequently, of course, importing the local client certificate alone into the IE Browser is of no use at all.) Could you please help me? Specifically, how can I import a PKCS#8 private-key into the local IE Browser's security database? (After that, importing the associated local certificate in .der or .cer format should be plain sailing.) (I don't want to combine the local private-key and local certificate into a PKCS#12 object. That would compromise security.) Thank you very much, in advance Amodhini U [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
