Yes, I have actually tried this but no joy. There is an "Other People" tab here, but the certificate list is empty after selecting the tab then performing the import. Refreshing Current User in the mmc does not yield an Other People folder. The import appears to automatically place the *.cer files into Intermediate Certification Authorities. When I attempt to bypass automatic placement into the store, the list of stores corresponds to the list in the mmc, and does not permit the creation of an Other People store.
Yikes. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Howell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Problem with WSE 2 & certificate import Hi Michael, If you don't have an Other People store under Current User, open Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, Content, and press the Certificates button. You should see an Other People tab in the certificates dialog. You can import the certificate here through this interface or you can return to mmc and refresh the Current User tree and Other People should now show up. "Clark, Michael (OFM)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am having trouble following the instructions provided for the sample apps found in the ReadMe.txt file provided for WSE2.0. Under "Setting up certs" the instructions say to use the MMC and "open both the current user's certificate store and the local machine certificate store snap-ins. Using Right-Click -> All Tasks -> Import..., import each of the following certificates from the 'Certificates' folder (provided) into the appropriate stores." The problem I run into is that the instructions do not seem to match the realities on my W2K box. The directions say to import them as follows: MsdnWse2SecuritySamplesClient.cer (Client's public key) -> LocalMachine/Other People MsdnWse2SecuritySamplesServer.cer (Server's public key) -> CurrentUser/Other People MsdnWse2SecuritySamplesClient.pfx (Client's private key) -> CurrentUser/Personal MsdnWse2SecuritySamplesServer.pfx (Server's private key) -> LocalMachine/Personal While there is a Personal store for both CurrentUser and LocalMachine, there is no Other People store! I am at a loss of how to get past this --- there are a number of other stores, including "Trusted Root Certificates", "Enterprise Trust", "Trusted People" and so on, but no exact match to "Other People". Unfortunately, "Other People" is exactly what the WSE 2.0 Certificate Tool is looking for and I am at an impasse!
