I'm working on a data exchange link between my own webapplication (written in classic ASP with VBscript) and a 3rd party server. The data exchange is accomplished with HTTP XML messaging.
To be able to send my XML messages to that company to get processed by their application, I need to digitally sign the XML messages. To do that, they provided me with a custom DLL and 2 certifcate files, one with file extension .cer and one with file extension .pfx, both of which need to be installed on my webserver (or so they say). They haven't supplied any documentation on how to install the certificate files. I've never had anything to do with certicates before, so I lack any knowledge about this stuff. By now I've spent many hours searching the internet and reading all sorts of documents and websites trying to come to grips with this, but I simply don't get it yet. The custom DLL seems to do a fraction of the things the capicom.dll would also be able to do: it is supposed to pick up the correct certificate based on some parameters (e.g. the issuer of the certificate), use that to generate the signature for the given XML message and return the signature to be put in the XML message. >From what I've read on certificates so far, I understand that a certificate is stored in a 'personal' certificate store. But I think the 'anonymous' internet account used to access my webapplication doesn't have such a 'personal' store? So how do I get to that certificate to be able to sign the XML message? Or is there another way to install the certificate so that the 'anonymous' user account can access it? -- Marja ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy!
