Hello, I'm somewhat new to OpenSSL and a few days ago I created a CA and created an selfsigned certificate, which is intended to use it with apache.
After installing that CA cert to my "Trusted Root Certification Authorities", I saw two certification in my Personal Cert Store on Windows 7. See screenshot #1 at: http://www.failure.bravehost.com/win/certificates/ Does anybody know if there is a "default" cert which will be installed for a normal user? See: Screenshot #2 But perhaps this is a cert which I created in the past and within my OpenSSL Tests in January. Btw: As you can see, the cert is issued to _and_ by oslo\admin but installed in the personal cert store of a normal but other user than the "admin", who belongs to the Administrators group Then there is the hint that this cert has a correspondending private key to that certificate. But I _can't_ export that private key (even if I change that normal user to the Administrator Group). See Screenshot #3. Why only the cert and not the private key? The "myCertificate" (see #1, blue) is marked as a "Code Signing" certificate. Btw: It is strange that this cert is valid until 2040 ... :-o Does anybody know if this is an automated cert, perhaps made/created by Visual Studio (2008sp1), while installation of Visual Studio? This "myCertificate" can export the private key (see screenshot #4) btw: Why can I only export in this pkcs12 format (see screenshot #5), when I select "[x] Yes, export the private key" AFAIR the Base64 files can contain certs _and_ private keys too. Or is this a misstake? And then if I go to the next screen (screenshot #6) I have to type a password. ??? Strange, because I don't have a password. Hope that sombody can help me to clarify that issues.
